POWO is the external taxonomic authority for vascular plants on iNaturalist (see : https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/curator+guide#authorities).
From the POWO page https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:403346-1 you can find the IPNI page https://www.ipni.org/n/403346-1. IPNI is a nomenclatural website and gives somtimes some explanations in case of automatic orthographical corrections, and gives the link to the protologue : https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/36310376
All of them (including the protologue) have Festuca pseudoeskia Boiss. (note : no parenthesis, they are only for new combinations).

There's an entry for Festuca pseudeskia en one for Festuca pseudoeskia.
Aren't these the same species spelled differently?
POWO and WFO have Festuca pseudoeskia (Boiss) as accepted (and no entry for Festuca pseudeskia).
EURO+MED has an entry for Festuca pseudeskia (Boiss), but nothing for Festuca pseudoeskia.
