Epithet coumingo[edit]

As of 20 August 2021, IPNI and PoWO had the epithet as "coumingo", but the original publication has "couminga", which appears to be a noun in apposition as it is described as the vernacular name in the Seychelles. Other sources (e.g. Tropicos) use "couminga". I have informed IPNI and PoWO; both have agreed that it will be corrected. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:10, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IPNI has now been corrected. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
