Oppose I see a lot of sources calling it Canavalia kauaiensis. Kolano123 (talk) 20:35, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kolano123 it's a junior synonym and we put pages at the senior synonym. This isn't a contraversial move. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually scratch this, you're right! There are two species with similar names. @William Avery your link goes to Canavalia kauensis, but the page is pointing at Canavalia kauaiensis which is a senior synonym. I will strike my vote. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:41, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: just looking at the history on this and it has been moved already from Canavalia kauensis to Canavalia kauaiensis, so that move assumed it was a spelling mistake, whereas it probably should have gone to the senior synonym, which was Canavalia hawaiiensis. Whatever happens, we need to make sure the right information sits with whatever this page ends up as. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
