Taiwan has now merged Ixeris japonica into Ixeris debilis as a synonym

@leaf1234 Thank you for telling the taxonomic treatment on the Plants of Taiwan.
In this literature, Ixeris debilis has a Japanese name "ほそばじしばり" = "ホソバジシバリ".
In Japan, ホソバジシバリ is Ixeris japonica (Burm.f.) Nakai subsp. litoralis Kitam.

In East Asia, there seems to be a difference of views in each region as to which of the synonymous relationships should be prioritized. I sometimes found same problem in other taxa.
Please give me time to think about how to deal with this.
The Japanese name noted on "Plants of Taiwan" website appears to be incorrect. I have contacted the editor of the website to request correction.
I have comitted the swap since it matches with POWO. As a general rule, iNat taxonomy is based on POWO, no matter what other databases / articles say, unless we request POWO to correct the names on it.
Thanks! @invertebratist
swap drafted
