I've read alot of posts about gt's and saum's so check my thinking. would it be true that a saum is a gt? perhaps just a different type of gt.

silver saum was the original GT I believe and the others get clumped in the same group

All in the same family. Green Terror is kind of a common name and it's been applied to several Saum's.

So i take that to mean that a green terror is a type of saum rather than a saum being a type of green terror.

Aequidens' sp. "Silversaum is the "true species" Another species Aequidens' sp. "Goldsaum" is commonly labelled Green Terror as well.

That would be my understanding, yes. GT is a common name. Saum is more the scientific name.
