Dear @loarie,
of course I do not mind at all if anyone here decides to swap again Bellardia viscosa to Parentucellia.
As said to another user from NZ, in my opinion, the placement of the old Parentucellia under Bellardia is congruent and the swap was done on the basis of the current literature.
Anyway, here anyone has the right to show his own point of view.
Thanks for having asked.
Bye
@blue_celery - this was brought up here http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/6164368 - For vascular plants iNat's policies are to try to follow 'regional floras ... and resort to The Plant List to resolve conflicts' rather than tracking the primary literature. I admit this isn't super satisfactory. But in this case it does seem like there's enough variability in local floras (here in CA for example, two regional floras: the the Jepson Manual and USDA Plants both are going with Parentucellia viscosa) that we should defer to The Plant List as the tie-breaker and stick with Parentucellia viscosa for now. Do you mind if I swap this back to from Bellardia to Parentucellia?
