[Taxacom] globalnames?

If the original publication was online, we could check for ourselves ... without needing genii of any persuasion!

I'm afraid I am only the techie genius.  I will have to refer you to the nomenclatural genii Paul Kirk and Jerry Cooper to answer this one.

Interesting. But to rain, or lightly drizzle on yr parade Kevin - reading
it through I'm confused on the taxonomists' petalodes/petaloides spellings
down the years, and also whether you've made a mistake yourselves on that
between boxes 3 & 4 in the Schulzer combination, or is it all part of the
demonstration? And why does EOL have its entry as petalodes when mostly
it's petaloides elsewhere, the former 'petalodes' possibly the original
author's orthography? Possibly it's crystal clear to any botanist but I
only have so much time :).  Maybe a bit too finicky an example?

A zoologist would certainly not use the abbrev Bull. for Bulliard (more
potential for obfuscation), and would I hope have given the date,
Bulliard, 1780 for the basionym.
