Taxonomic Swap 129890 (Committed on 2023-09-01)

The genus Prosopis has been broken up into several genera based on robust molecular and morphological evidence. The genera Prosopis, Anonychium, Xerocladia, Neltuma, Indopiptadenia, and Strombocarpa are all distinguishable by fruit and spine characters. Prosopis is now a purely African / Middle Eastern genus and new world species have been moved to Neltuma and Strombocarpa.

@kevinfaccenda Hello, thank you for this actual change. However, despite you are right with respect to N. velutina and N. articulata, there is a mistake with respect to N. palmeri. Both the cited literature and the website of Powo (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77303581-1) shift it into genus Strombocarpa, consequently Strombocarpa palmeri.

Sorry about that! Fortunately the ranges are distinct so I have created a split to move all the Baja specimens to S. palmeri
