Just to be clear, I'm not unilaterally changing any spelling error, it is to follow the iNaturalist policy that Kew gardens plants of the world online is the reference used to synch iNat plant taxonomy.
The site does not take a 'stand' ICZN rules or anything like that, or which nomenclature code to follow.
Oh I know; it's not even the PotW making a subjective determination. The issue is that the plant code requires names to be grammatically correct in Latin, even if it means changing the original spelling of a name that's been in widespread use for 200 years. The animal code prioritizes the original name.
So maddening. A big reason why the ICZN is better than the ICNafp.
