Talk:Diospyros discolor

message: ITIS does not accept the species name Diospyros discolor.  The accepted name is Diospyros blancoi  [] .  Is there any reason why this binomial should not be changed?  NaySay 15:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In this case it's correct, but it is never a good idea to rely on ITIS, which is priobably the worst and most outdated of all major taxonomic databases. I usually check GRIN, and if that doesn't work, it's a manual Google search. Google Scholar is also not reliable for plants, because many non-botanists are very slow to adapt name changes.

message: I think this article should be merged with the Kamagong article. I mean, we don't have an apple and a separate apple tree article do we?

replies: text: Merge: I agree that we should merge both articles.  I believe Kamagong is the name of the hardwood taken from the Mabolo tree.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.202.47.196 (talk) 10:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I have been told by e-mail that PoWO will be updated to Diospyros blancoi. Diospyros discolor is definitely wrong; it was the subject of a conservation proposal, but this failed, which various sources apparently didn't notice. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:32, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
