Mature growth?
Such a reliable bloomer and easy plant. I have 2 of these and they never fail to add some needed color in the late summer. The cross is Blc. Orange Nuggett x Yam. Sammie Evans.

There are plenty of good reasons for that. Yamadaara is ancient history though, way back when this cross was registered sometime in the previous century.

It makes me wonder when Kew started restructuring the species where did the RHS come up with some of these new genera.

Like all the complex multi-genera names that end in -ara, this one honors a person. I don't know who Louis Cappe is or was, but apparently someone felt he was deserving of the honor. They may look hard to pronounce and remember, but if you parse out the persons name it usually isn't that bad. In this case I think Louis was French so the s would be silent.

All good and acknowledged but I am too lazy to change the label!

It was originally registered as Yamadaara. That name will never be wrong. But going forward if someone wants to find this plant or information about it knowing Louiscappeara might be necessary.
