Hello @choess,
Regarding your assertion above, we maintained the subspecies for the Flora of New Zealand; i.e., treating haurakiense as a subspecies of flaccidum. Pat Brownsey was adamant about this, and looked into this again in detail before writing the eFloraNZ treatment. Have you read his summary here? https://www.nzflora.info/factsheet/taxon/Asplenium-flaccidum-subsp-flaccidum.html In some places, it is difficult to distinguish the entities. In my experience, while I appreciate that the north-eastern North Island has in parts a particular morphological (and ecological) variant, similar variants occur elsewhere in the range of Asplenium flaccidum s.l. If treated as species, are they flaccidum or haurakiense? Same question for the Kermadec plants mentioned by Pat on the eFloraNZ page.
Until there is some genetic evidence that there are two (or more) distinct evolutionary lineages in sympatry, it seemed more pragmatic to me to keep treating the NE NI variant as a subspecies (i.e., a lineage, albeit only putatively so, with a geographic basis).
Los desacuerdos no deseados ocurren cuando un padre (B) es
disminuido al mover un hijo (E) a otra parte del árbol taxonómico,
resultando en que los IDs existentes del padre sean interpretados
como desacuerdos con los IDs existentes del hijo movido.
Identification
ID 2 del taxón E será un desacuerdo no deseado con la ID 1 del taxón B después del cambio de taxon
Si disminuir a un padre resulta en más de 10 desacuerdos no deseados, debes dividir al padre después de cambiar al hijo para reemplazar las identificaciones existentes de
el padre (B) con identificaciones que no están en desacuerdo.
