swapped and synonym deleted |
So this is a mess. There are two names of Plectranthus parvifolius in POWO with different authors. Both belong in Isodon now.

However, on iNat, this name appears to be exclusively used as a misapplication where the identified actually meant "Plectranthus parviflorus" which is now Coleus australis. The two Isodon species are Asian, whereas C. australis is Australian and pacific.

Propose to swap this name in to Coleus australis and then delete the name from synonymy after the swap goes through.
