This is the usual interpretation of the Code, not only a few persons' view.

"Being present", "being known", "differing from species B by its very well
recognizable characters", "being beautiful", "occuring only in Suriname",
"can be seen in autumn", "resembling very much species B and C", "size
like species B" and likewise features are not attributes for a species
either, that can be used for differentiating them in the sense of Art.
13.1.1.

When interpreting Art. 13.1.1, it is, as Denis suggested, also necessary
to think about the reason why this article is in the Code. If it had no
meaning, it would not stand there.
And if the English is not sufficient and allows weird interpretations,
then the French Code must be used, which is equivalent in force.
