gaertnerneuwirth Echeveria peacockii

please make a taxon-change of Echeveria peacockii to Echeveria desmetiana, because the former is a synonym to Dudleya pulverulenta (http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:60473374-2)

swapped

I'm not sure what you're asking for. Do you want E. peacockii swapped to E. desmetiana, or D. pulverulenta?

Hi, all observations of E. peacockii on iNat should be swapped to E. desmetiana because this is the valid name for this taxon.

POWO lists E. peacockii as a synonym for D. pulverulenta, not E. desmetiana. I've added E. desmetiana, but I can't swap one into the other unless you have a source explicitly outlining the synonymy.

I would recommend identifying all E. peacockii observations correctly. If there are no more E. peacockii observations, I can swap the taxon into D. pulverulenta.

Yes, that is right, Echeveria peacockii is a synonym for Dudleya pulverulenta. Thus the Echeveria that hitherto was known as E. peacockii, was without a name. The next available name for this plant is E. desmetiana and this is the name that should be used instead of Echeveria peacockii for the mexican Echeveria.
I could explain it better in German .......... ;-).

You can just write it out in German. I took two years of German, and Google Translate can fill in the rest.

OK Ryan,

bis vor kurzem war eine Echeveria aus Puebla und Oaxaca als Echeveria peacockii bekannt. Dann wurde entdeckt, dass die Erstbeschreibung von Echeveria peacockii eigentlich eine Dudleya ist und zwar D. pulverulenta. Somit musste die mexikanische Echeverie einen neuen Namen erhalten, denn E. peacockii ist ein Synonym von Dudleya pulverulenta.
Der nächste verfügbare, nomenklatorisch gültige Name für diese Echeverie ist Echeveria desmetiana. Aus diesem Grund müssen alle Beobachtungen der mexikanischen Echeveria, die hier auf iNat noch den Namen E. peacockii trägt, in Echeveria desmetiana umbenannt werden.

Thank you for your patience.
Stefan
