Meadow Anemone Anemonastrum canadense should be Anemone canadensis

I’ve noticed several plants that are using names that are not generally accepted in either the Integrated Taxonomic Database or the Plant List (Kew + MoBot). How are you tracking taxons? Can I suggest that you use world flora online which seems to be the most up to date reference?

welcome to the forum :)

iNat uses POWO as its main plant authority (with some deviations). POWO currently lists Anemonastrum canadense as a valid taxon (http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:60473574-2). If you think this is incorrect, you can flag the taxon directly at https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/881527 and start a discussion there, provide reasons, etc.
