It seems to me like if we have a species that is being referenced in modern books, do we not want it listed in our database?

Modern books don't necessarily have correct information. Even an outdated RHS book might not have the most recent acceptable names as more research is done.

The RHS is the International register holder for daffodils.

What if someone buys this book "Bulbs" and then wants to research the species they read about? If they google for that, don't we want to be able to serve their need for information?

That can be covered by adding the (incorrect) species as a synonym?
