Incorrect matching to genus - listed species Coprosma X tadgellii should go to Coprosma xtadgelii W.R.B.Oliv. #115

Coprosma X tadgellii is a listed species in Victoria. It is accepted by APC and in ALA correctly as Coprosma xtadgelii W.R.B.Oliv. However names and data do not match to the correct taxon and are referred to the genus Coprosma.

https://lists.ala.org.au/speciesListItem/list/dr655?q=Coprosma has Coprosma X tadgellii but this does not seem to be coming though in the download. Investigating why this should be so.

The capital X is likely to cause issues as it may be interpreted as an author or marker of some sort.

Coprosma X tadgellii has an extra L in tadgelli. However, it still should be synonymised as a junior synonym of Coprosma xtadgellii. The system won't be able to work that out by itself.

Sherrin-ALA commented 1 year ago

The synonymy will need to be added to an ALA corrections list.
