@jjnavarro I do wish you had brought this to my attention any time in the last three months while this change remained open for comment. You may wish to flag the new taxon with your concerns.
@kitty12 Well thank you very much. I don't know very well how iNaturalist works. If there is a way to correct it, it would be good if this happened. Regards
I have an important doubt with this change. According to the reconstruction of the phylogeny of the genus Bursera (De Nova et al 2011, Becerra et al 2012), B. fagaroides and B. odorata are distinct species. It is true that there is a long discussion about the possible inclusion of B. odorata within B. fagaroides, but to date I do not know of any molecular studies that support this status. Therefore I suggest they remain as separate species.
