Broken decisions after Rematch All

How to clean up a list of remaining 1140 broken decisions?

[yroskov]

Truncated authorstrings with Gabriel y Galán (mis-parsed author) have been corrected via complex decisions:

Lomariocycas moritziana (Klotzsch) Gabriel
Struthiopteris fallax (Lange) S. Molino & Gabriel
Struthiopteris spicant var. fallax (J. E. Lange) Wasowicz & Gabriel
Struthiopteris spicant var. homophyllum (Merino) Gabriel
Struthiopteris spicant var. pradae S. Molino & Gabriel

[yroskov]

Issues report "Rank Invalid".

Majority of cases (9 of 10) caused by the infraspecific marker "nothossp." used in the source. (I have interpreted this as "subspecies" via complex decisions).

• Subspecies case in World Ferns: checked against master file.
  There is a mistake in the master file with Taxon code: Physematium scopulinum ssp. appalachianum should have a code SS. Reported to the author: It would be nice to correct in next exports.

S | | Physematium scopulinum ssp. appalachianum (T.M.C.Taylor) Li Bing Zhang, N.T.Lu & X.F.Gao

MH, 2023-05-15: it is now about time to change the profile text for WorldPlants and WorldFerns databases. Could you exchange it as follows? I hope it is not too long. The last paragraph is only for WorldFerns.
Possibly it might be time to issue the “5 stars”. What do you think?

WorldFerns and WorldPlants are synonymic checklists of the vascular plants of the world (including ferns and lycophytes). The data set has been compiled – independently from other catalogues - over the last 40 years by starting from the basic data of the Kew Index and the Index Filicum. These names (initially over 1 million) have been subsequently cross-checked against local or regional floras, checklists, monographies and treatments. Large subsets of the database have been cross-checked by experts for certain groups. In the current status almost all names have been verified, and distribution data, newer checklists and/or floras are available for almost all countries and regions. Over the years, about 400,000 names have been added to the basic subset, leading to a total of 1,380,000 names for all families. Only a small subset (about 50,000 names) of mostly old, unverified and unassignable (“unplaced”) names have been deliberately omitted. Newly described taxa are added on a regular basis through data exchange with IPNI. Special attention is given to arranging the genera in correct phylogenetic sequence, by inclusion of the most important phylogenetic papers and monographies. The linear sequence of genera can be seen on the original website worldplants.de.
As of 2023, almost all countries and regions have recent checklists or floras of reasonable quality and completeness, and over 90 % of geographical distribution is probably known. Some remaining large gaps have been closed by the recent completion of checklists for Brazil and India. Remaining regions with some data deficiencies are parts of Malesia and Central Africa (the two Congos), and for some states of former Yugoslavia the distribution is not yet fully broken down.
WorldFerns is proud to be the main data source for the new Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group initiative “PPG-II”, starting 2023. Results from this continuing revision of the WorldFerns catalogue by almost 300 experts worldwide are subsequently back-integrated in the existing dataset and almost immediately available.

MH, 2023-05-31: in WorldFerns there is currently still the old profile active. Can you also exchange against the profile currently being used in WorldPlants?

Michael: because I did get a lot of negative responses about the recent split of Selaginella, I come to the conclusion that PPG-II most probably will not accept this, and certainly not with a 75% majority. So I am reverting this and list Selaginella sensu lato in the next update (coming in November).

Geoff used old converter with some improvements: new version of GN parser - 70 names (synonyms) of class 3 were rejected, incl monstr. & hybrid formula; synonyms of genera have got their ranks (not yet in species, families & orders)
