Only strict alignment to the taxonomic backbones or also practicality? (cultivated species and wild ancestors)

@Italopithecus

in some cases it could be useful to separate the nominate cultivated taxon and the wild (and frequent in the wild) ancestor at the specific level.

I am not very familiar with plant taxonomy, but I think this makes sense. I have elevated certain animal subspecies to species level in our taxonomy because of the complications with subspecies.

@Italopithecus

Unfortunately, many observations are IDed symply as P. communis. I think this can be also because the CV suggests P. communis as one the likeliest IDs and because in some cases users seem not to care for subspecies.

The CV also won’t suggest subspecies.
