The plant is AUBRIETIA, which (unfortunately) is 9 letters. I wonder if the compiler has erred?

Until today, I always thought it was Aubretia, but it is Aubrieta

My Collins gives it as Aubrietia, but Google accepts your spelling too.

Named after a French botanist called Aubriet, so the start is sure, but I have always heard it pronounced with a "sha" ending, hence "tia"
