In progress taxonomic changes #1

Open wcornwell opened 1 month ago

Because this work uses data from different resources, there will always be dis-connects as some all databases do not onboard changes at the same time. This will cause some records to appear as new arrivals while in reality, it's just partially updated taxonomic changes. This thread is to keep track of these cases. Most will eventually work themselves out as all databases reach taxonomic consensus, but the lag can be expected to be long in some cases.

Pteridium aquilinum in North America will probably all get the name Pteridium feei possibly.

Taylor indicates all Ceanothus prostratus specimens from Yosemite area should be called Ceanothus fresnensis
