Talk:Botrypus

Genera
What genus is this even in? I'm relatively new to wikipedia and I'm not really sure what database or reference is used in a taxonomic clash. I'm keeping the genus as its been listed as botrypus and have added that to the family page and removed the redirrect to from botrypus to botrychium. If I am wrong feel free to undo those edits.

Genus name/article title conflict
I'm reading the article and it refers to the genus Botrypus and the species Botrychium virginianum. This is like looking at an article about someone named Sarah Johnson and then, with no further context, seeing her referred to by the surname Blake throughout the article.

There is only one genus name. There may be synonyms when a plant is named and then renamed, but one should be the superior or correct synonym over the other, and be used throughout the article. The other name should be clearly labeled a synonym, and not used to refer to the plant in the article text.

This is an issue. This article is the top search result for "Botrychium virginianum" for me, and likely countless others. Please resolve. 2604:2D80:E594:3800:9029:94D4:187D:B7FD (talk) 23:18, 15 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I have corrected the first sentence. As the Taxonomy and genetics section explains, recent research suggests that the species formerly known as Botrychium virginianum is best place in a genus of its own, so it's now the only species in the genus Botrypus. Not all sources have yet caught up. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:56, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
