See this ref: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7360637/
It involves a total of 4 genera

It hasn't been incorporated into POWO yet, which iNaturalist uses as its taxonomic authority for vascular plants. We could wait until it gets picked up, or perhaps do a deviation.

Why has a change been committed for Selliera? This change does not isn’t recorded on POWO yet.

Yes, Selliera radicans should not have been changed without being flagged, discussed and agreed as a deviation, particularly as genus Selliera remains. This needs to be tidied up.

I have switched it back for now.

Has anyone contacted POWO to convince them to update?

Do we want to deviate or can I close this flag?
