You have recently added new data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The problem is that the original data sources has the records as Ilex revoluta P.C. Tam (http://www.nsii.org.cn/node/80/I/Ile/Ilex%20revoluta) a synonym of Ilex tamii T.R. Dudley (according to the Plant List). Your system has matched these as Ilex revoluta Stapf (an accepted species from Borneo).

There are other species in this boat e.g. Pilea pterocaulis (S. S. Chien) C. J. Chen (a synonym of Pilea subcoriacea (Hand.-Mazz.) C.J.Chen) has been added to Pilea pterocaulis Stapf

Thanks

The issue is that no author name is provided with these data. The occurrences matched to https://www.gbif.org/species/8284374 instead of https://www.gbif.org/species/5533839 have the name Ilex revoluta so we cannot know whether the species should be Tam or Stapf. The same goes for Pilea pterocaulis.

Contacted the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) (https://www.gbif.org/publisher/a2fa5b68-3ebf-4845-abc5-f456d251386f) by email to ask if they could provide us with scientific authorship.
