Taxonomic Swap 6382 (Committed on 2014-01-06)

Celastrus is grammatically feminine, but was (incorrectly) treated by Linnaeus and many subsequent authors as masculine. However, a proposal to conserve Celastrus L. as grammatically feminine was rejected by the IAPT Committee on Spermatophyta in 2005 (see Taxon 57 p. 1096), which recommended that the name be conserved as masculine.
