Pompeius verna should be a synonym of Vernia verna #495

Both taxa are listed as accepted in the GBIF backbone and are not related to one another. Pompeius verna has multiple synonyms. Vernia verna has no synonyms. However Vernia verna should be the accepted name and all synonyms should likely be moved under that entry.
