#scientist Transcribed Corydalis micrantha v. australis. Label says Corydalis micrantha v. australis (Engelm.) Gray
There's a mix of info on ITIS and TPL as to the name, if someone can make a new determination.
Per ITIS: Corydalis micrantha (Engelm. ex A. Gray) A. Gray (without a variant name) is accepted (TSN 19007) - while Corydalis micrantha var. australis (Chapm.) Shinners (with diff scientist names) is unaccepted syn of Corydalis micrantha ssp. australis (Chapm.) G.B. Ownbey (TSN 533851) and also Corydalis micrantha ssp. australis (Chapm.) G.B. Ownbey (with ssp rather than var & diff scientist names) is accepted (TSN 523914).
TPL agrees: kew-2738990, kew-2738992 and kew-2738991 respectively.

Well that's odd. I thought I posted this on the Science/The Objects board but it appears on Chat/The Objects. Not really a problem, but is there a way to move a thread from one board to another?

Yes, this is a tricky one for sure. To make it even more complicated Weakley (http://www.herbarium.unc.edu/flora.htm) accepts Corydalis halei. With all that said, if you just enter the name is we should be able to reconcile this "on the back end."

Thanks. After a period of misunderstanding what to enter and what to omit, eventually I grasped that I should just enter the genus & species, plus ssp. or var. if present, that are on the label (except to correct confirmed misspellings), and omit the 'scientist names' part. But I have been adding comments about my search results when I find they conflict with the label and especially when different sites conflict with each other. If someone can use the info, that's great, but if it's not useful, it's easy for you to ignore.
I am increasingly fascinated by what I assumed was a pretty fixed system of taxonomy and identification keeps throwing up discrepancies. But of course, living things are never easy to pin down!
