Is this considered resolved?
the swap should not have been made given existing iNaturalist policy on not adopting nomina inedita even if they are listed as "accepted" (taxonomy running over nomenclature...) on an aggregator like POWO. provisional names and combinations should not be used
But ... POWO has numerous entries like this where the 'accepted' name is unpublished, it is A. recurvatum ined. So, according to iNat policy it cannot be used.
