Revision of Indigofera L. sect. Brachypodae subsect. Brachypodae (Fabaceae: Indigofereae) from the Greater Cape Floristic Region,
South African Journal of Botany,

Abstract: Indigofera sect. Brachypodae DC. is a large group of approximately 40 species within the Cape Clade, mostly restricted to the Core Cape Region (CCR), with only two species extending eastwards to Grahamstown. This section has been subdivided into four subsections based primarily on morphological characters. Subsect. Brachypodae is the most diverse of the four subsections and is characterised by having sclerophyllous leaves, with a distinctly sunken midvein and (usually) revolute leaf margins. This group occurs almost exclusively within Fynbos, with a few species growing in coastal Strandveld vegetation. Revised here, nineteen species are recognized in this subsection, eleven of which are new to science. Additionally, a new infraspecific combination is created for I. pinnata following nomenclatural and identification confusion. All species are formally described here, with photographic plates of each and illustrations of corollas and calyces provided. Many of the new species were either unrecognised at the time of the last revision in Flora Capensis 2, or have only been discovered recently. Distribution maps and information regarding habitat preference, phenology, and ecology and recommended IUCN red list status of each species are also provided.

These synonyms are informal names. To my best knowledge, temporary code names shouldn't be added to iNaturalist.

Posted by nschwab 2 months ago

These are not temporary code names, they are names used in the Flora for these species as not described.
IF you dont want to add them as "synonums" then at least they should be added as "vernacular" names, so that those people using those references can find out what happened to them. Ordinary users cannot access "inactive names" to find out what they were changed to.

These are temporary code names. It's not because they were used in a flora that they aren't. They're not English names nor Scientific names so there's no lexicon to add them.

Posted by nschwab 2 months ago

These are names in books used to make identifications. As such they need a link for users to be able to work out what they are on iNaturalist. That is not a very hard concept?
If this is how iNaturalist works, then it would have been better not to make these swaps!
