the photos currently represent a mix of two taxa - the "correct" Siberian P. chrysantha Trevir. and the China-Indian Duchesnea chrysantha = P. hebiichigo. See https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxonomydetail.aspx?id=474629 |

Split committed. |

I agree. Even in IPNI, the synonymies are not the way they are in POWO.
@kai_schablewski would you mind taking a look at this little mix-up?
I can only say that you are right. Thumbs up for Potentilla hebiichigo
I have drafted a taxon split and atlased both the new P. chrysantha and P. hebiichigo according to the cited paper: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/71696. I have also recorded this as a deviation, and cited the paper and this flag there. Does it look good to commit this taxon change?
the ones from Taiwan are also P. hebiichigo. The Korean observations are either P. hebiichigo or P. indica (which is not the point here, however), but, of course, not chrysantha
That is what I have in the atlas for P. hebiichigo, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, the Philippines, and Indonesia. For the new P. chrysantha, I have Russia and a number of countries in the Balkans. Once the split is committed, P. chrysantha observations will get sorted based on geography, so the Siberian observations will go to the new P. chrysantha, and the Asian observations will all get put into P. hebiichigo.
in POWO the synonyms are mixed up as well. we see some "Duchesnea chrysantha (Trevir.) Miq." http://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:724722-1 supposedly based on Potentilla chrysantha Trevir.
but in the original publication by Miquel there is no reference to the Siberian Treviranus' taxon
https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/5871425
but to Fragaria chrysantha Zoll. & Moritzi
Potentilla chrysantha Trevir. has nothing to do with the Chinese taxon with strawberry-like fruit
the most accurate source is the paper in which the name P. hebiichigo is introduced, available here https://www.researchgate.net/publication/283250661_Potentilla_hebiichigo_Yonek_H_Ohashi_Rosaceae_and_its_distribution
