The Capparaceae of the Caribbean were a big mess not so long ago, with many taxa having two or even 3 species pages. It seems somebody cleaned up this mess lately. Thanks a lot at this place to the unknown curator who made the effort!!!
A single taxon of Caribbean Capparaceae seems to have escaped the cleanup and still has 3 species pages:
Powo calles this taxon Morisonia cynophallophora https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77183582-1
Here the 3 taxon pages in iNat for this species:

In case i posted the information at the wrong place. well it might be a database bug report …
Please follow either Powo or GBIF... I can't currently identify this group of Capparacea in any meanigfull way, as long as iNat taxonomy is such a mess. And i am probably not the only one with that problem.
This has reared up again. I thik I missed it the first time around. https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/611974#activity_comment_b14ef69b-eb9d-4eb4-934c-f8bb46054bb9
Solved for other quasi-Morisonia genera based on https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330114108_Notes_on_the_Nomenclature_of_Neotropical_Capparaceae_An_Answer_to_Global_flora Shall we do the same here?
Cleared up and fixed, long over due. I found at least 4 taxa for Morisonia cynophallophora. I'll look at the other ones
So, settling on deviating from POWO? I'd like to help clear this up; a number of dual duplicate taxa still exist in iNat taxonomy, even some triplets.

https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/949854-Morisonia-odoratissmia
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/356453-Capparis-odoratissima
I'll put those others into syn. of Quadrella odoratissima (Jacq.) Hutch., which seems to be the most widely accepted taxon. Thanks for bringing this up, as this is not a species I know, and which is mainly a continental neotropical species. @cgbc
@stevemaldonadosilvestrini Thanks!
Done! @cgbc
See http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/?q=Quadrella. OK to follow POWO or are there proposals to deviate?
