Synonyms of subspecies

edit

According to Plants of the World Online (POWO), the species has only 1 synonym. However, each of the 8 subspecies has several listed synonyms. For the purpose of this page, I listed all the synonyms together. Please let me know if they should be listed individually for each subspecies and how that might be arranged on the page.

@Halenhardy:, it's better to list all the synonyms (including those of the subspecies) here rather than only the 1 direct synonym of the species. It might be better to arrange them so the synonyms are grouped according to subspecies, but there isn't a solid consensus on how to arrange synonyms; there's an open discussion right now about one aspect of arranging synonyms at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life#Setting_policy_for_lists_of_synonyms?.

Thank you for the input. For the sake of thoroughness and accuracy, I kept the one specific synonym in the speciesbox, but itemized each subspecific synonym under the "Distribution and habitat" section. Hopefully it's not too confusing for the reader. Halenhardy (talk) 03:06, 23 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
