Add a synonym?

Yes, definitely, Evan. I think in this instance with so many plants in question, it might be easiest to do that for the ones that we have if they can be found ... since I don't think that can be done across the board with a script. But may take some time. Apparently there are some disagreements about these plants ... and it seems everywhere I look they are listed mostly by the old names so far. It also seems the lists are all a bit different and mostly incomplete. If the names haven't changed too much, we're golden.

Dave, for the one's proposed changing earlier could the existing name be put in the syn. field with a script?

All the others are already changed except for Chamaesyce.

Not including cultivar names in the Synonym field ... that's what I was thinking about.

The Plant list only has one which is accepted, Chamaesyce inequilatera. Four others are uresolved, Chamaesyce cuchumatanensis, Chamaesyce multinode, Chamaesyce ophiolitica, and Chamaesyce peruviana. The rest are synonyms.

Exactly.
