Linnaea?[edit]

Moving Kolkwitzia to Linnaea may be a bit premature. The synonymy of Kolkwitzia under Linnaea appears to be based on a single reference, it is not at all clear that this represents any kind of consensus regarding the classification of this group of species. If the broader circumscription of Linnaea is accepted, the page for Abelia as well as all of the articles for the several species now included in that genus would also need to be moved to Linnaea. Meanwhile, the article on the genus Linnaea makes no mention of any of this. 160.111.254.17 (talk) 15:55, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a scholarly account of the change in nomenclature http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=EE39BB34A26DCF43F5DDE8EECCF5F582?doi=10.1.1.397.846&rep=rep1&type=pdf California Academy of Science also uses Linnaea https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/472975-Linnaea-amabilis

I propose that the title of this article be changed back to Linnaea amabilis, which will also match the name used in Wikimedia Commons. Sorry I don't know how to do this myself. HouseOfChange (talk) 20:48, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I see that Kew here has adopted the new nomenclature, so I think it will be accepted. Let's see if there are more comments. Unless there are good arguments against, then I'll make the move(s). Peter coxhead (talk) 21:56, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@HouseOfChange: as there were no adverse comments, I moved the old version of "Linnaea" to Linnaea borealis and started a new article at Linnaea. I moved Kolkwitzia amabilis to Linnaea amabilis; I need to check/move the other species/genera with changed placements. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:53, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
