If I head to the [Curate Taxa](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/curation) page linked to from my Dashboard, I get a list of the most recent 100 ungrafted taxa. It currently says that it is displaying 100 of 144 ungrafted taxa. There seems to be no obvious way to display the rest, and my searching hasn’t disclosed how to display them. Does anyone know? Is it even possible? ---

I suppose one way would be to resolve the first 45 of them? Unfortunately, I don’t have a more useful answer for you – hopefully someone else will. ---

Wow. Quite a few of those ungrafted taxa are long extinct species that have no place on iNaturalist. ---

I don’t think that’s really a fair conclusion, extinct species just often don’t fit neatly into the artificial tree ---

My response probably came off more harsh than intended, but from a curator point of view, the inability to neatly incorporate them into the tree can be a little frustrating at times and sometimes detracts from work needed for extant species - the ones that would most benefit from iNaturalist. Since observations of long extinct taxa are almost always vertebrates (e.g. dinosaurs, mammoths) and that is the section of the tree I primarily deal with, it’s possible that inflated the issue from my perspective. ---

I had a go at quite a few of the plant species. Interestingly there were a couple left that had been the subject of a taxon swap, and somehow got left behind: - [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27463594](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27463594) - [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27464039](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27464039) In both cases it looks like the taxon swap missed one of the IDs. Not sure how to handle these ones. ---

> [@bouteloua](#): > > extinct species just often don’t fit neatly into the artificial tree This is one of the main practical problems with accepting the split of _Nothofagus_ into four genera: the majority of fossil _Nothofagus_ will be left with no genus, as we just don’t know what genus they would have belonged to, or even if the new genera would have applied to them. ---

Given that user opts out of community ID, it’s possible they’re also opting out of taxon swaps in their account settings. ---

Quick update: it’s now sortable and filterable and with more links and things.

There seem to be a bunch of ungrafted higher-order plant taxa (Fabales—multiple copies, Ginkgooidae, Cyperales, Alismatidae…) that cannot be inactivated by normal curators. Most of these have flags that have seen no action. Who are the higher-level plant curators, and is it OK to personally tag them in some of these flags? ---

There are no plant curators. Higher order taxa changes can only be done by staff regardless of it is an open or locked area . [Next page](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-does-one-list-all-ungrafted-taxa/6612.md?page=2)
