Talk:Hydnocarpus pentandrus

Merge proposal

Proposed by Canyq with reason: It appears that Hydnocarpus wightianus is not an accepted name, but a synonym of Hydnocarpus pentandrus. See [1] [2] [3] [4]. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:47, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

• Support merge to either target. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:47, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
• Support the name Hydnocarpus wightianus is a synonym of Hydnocarpus pentandrus. Kolano123 (talk) 01:37, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

  Also Oppose The article Hydnocarpus wightianus is larger than Hydnocarpus pentandrus. Kolano123 (talk) 11:27, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

  @Kolano123: Currently, you've both supported and opposed. Please strike out one of your responses. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:24, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

  Oppose the name Hydnocarpus wightianus is more commonly used than Hydnocarpus pentandrus. Kolano123 (talk) 06:44, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

  There are two inherent proposals here: 1) Merge the two articles and 2) after the merge redirect one to the other. It doesn't look like you are opposing the merge itself, but for the second you are suggesting that Hydnocarpus pentandrus should be a redirect to Hydnocarpus wightianus. Have I got it right? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:48, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

  Yes, you have. Kolano123 (talk) 06:51, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

  I request strike out all your previous statements and vote "Merge to Hydnocarpus wightianus" in that case. Thanks. That should be less confusing for the discussion closer. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:54, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

  I am expanding my reply to say that this is sort of correct. Kolano123 (talk) 06:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

  I am expanding my reply further to say that the article Hydnocarpus wightianus seems to be an independently notable article. Kolano123 (talk) 07:06, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Both names seem to be currently accepted, and that Kew reference gives wightianus as a heterotypic synonym of pentandrus. I'm unsure of the policy in this case. Klbrain (talk) 11:39, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
