Taxonomic Swap 11203 (Committed on 2015-05-19)

The global plant lists have it under Cornus racemosa:
http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/synonomy.do?name_id=47487
www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-47487

Since it was already swapped from Cornus to Swida:
www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/4017
I don't want to simply swap it back if Swida racemosa is more widely known and used in North America.

In that case, I suggest to exchange input and output taxon, and commit the swap.

According to IPNI and USDA, Swida racemosa is a synonym and the current accepted name is Cornus racemosa. I think you're safe to make the swap.

These are messy but my overall inpression both on iNat and in the botany community as a whole is to go with Cornus. Unfortunately Flora of Nova Anglicae (New England) which is the main plant source we use for the northeast, used Swida causing lots of confusion. But... best to go with Cornus for now.
