Synonymy edit

IPNI and Tropicos both give the author as just "Hallier f.". Tropicos does give Convolvulus oenotherae Vatke as a synonym, but if Hallier's name is derived from this as a basionym, the authority ought to be "(Vatke) Hallier f." which it's not in either database. The African plants database does give this authority, so I'll go with it at present, but there does seem to be some confusion. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:37, 24 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Is this useful in clarifying the proper name? It's the original publication I believe, in which the name is changed from that given by Vatke to that given by Hallier.Rambunctious Racoon (talk) 21:43, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Great resource for morphology information edit

I've found this link which seems to have many descriptions of the plant. This might be useful to any botanists wanting to improve the article and ensure its accuracy, as all of the current descriptions are derived from an initial machine translation (subsequently corrected, but still).Rambunctious Racoon (talk) 11:10, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
