Talk:Diospyros discolor

sp. discolor not accepted
ITIS does not accept the species name Diospyros discolor. The accepted name is Diospyros blancoi  []. Is there any reason why this binomial should not be changed? NaySay 15:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * In this case it's correct, but it is never a good idea to rely on ITIS, which is priobably the worst and most outdated of all major taxonomic databases. I usually check GRIN, and if that doesn't work, it's a manual Google search. Google Scholar is also not reliable for plants, because many non-botanists are very slow to adapt name changes.

Some useful sites for this article (I also gave these sites for the Kamagong article):

http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/mabolo.html (has a story why it is called blancoi)

http://www.worldagroforestrycentre.org/Sea/Products/AFDbases/AF/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=18079

Maybe I'll get around doing it next week. Also, I think the description of the fruit's aroma as smelling like cat's feces is a little biased. I've had it and I agree with most articles that it smells a bit like rotten cheese. (with hints of jackfruit, peach, apple, ... but that's just me)

Merge with Kamagong?
I think this article should be merged with the Kamagong article. I mean, we don't have an apple and a separate apple tree article do we?

 * Merge: I agree that we should merge both articles. I believe Kamagong is the name of the hardwood taken from the Mabolo tree.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.202.47.196 (talk) 10:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

 * https://www.gbif.org/species/3032976 and https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:322146-1 Call the current name a synonym of Diospyros discolor Willd.Hardyplants (talk) 03:00, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I have been told by e-mail that PoWO will be updated to Diospyros blancoi. Diospyros discolor is definitely wrong; it was the subject of a conservation proposal, but this failed, which various sources apparently didn't notice. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:32, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks, I am sure it take time to update a hug data set.Hardyplants (talk) 13:20, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
