[Taxacom] Question regarding nomenclature citation of the plant

[dipteryx at freeler.nl]

This seems mostly a matter of style, but some points:

* "auct." is used for misidentifications, Rec. 50D recommends
  the format "*Sesleria bielzii* Schur (syn. *Sesleria coerulans" 
  auct. non Friv., Hjkl et al., Flora Ucrain. Carpat.)" with 
  "Hjkl et al." the authors of the Flora Ucrain. Carpat. 
  However, this is not a case of misidentification, but rather of
  taxonomic shorthand, so this is not advisable.
* the format "*Sesleria bielzii Schur *(syn. *Sesleria coerulans* 
  Friv. sensu flora Ucrain. Carpat.)" seems like an option, just as
  "*Sesleria bielzii* Schur (as *Sesleria coerulans* Friv. 
  [subsp. *bielzii* (Schur) Gergely & Beldie] in Flora Ucrain. Carpat.)"
  or a variation of that.
* And indeed it is possible (and safer) to just describe the situation 
  in words.

Hope this helps,
Paul
