[Taxacom] Question regarding nomenclature citation of the plant

[Andriy Novikov]

Dear Paul,
I know that "auct. Author2 non Author1" is applying for misidentification
and this is really not a case in my situation, therefore I do not use this
phrase. Instead of this, I consider the possible application of the phrase
"Author1, auct. Author2". Such a phrase is not regulated by Code and
actually, I am not sure whether it is correct to use it or at least is it
unambiguously understandable for readers.

Dear Stephen,
Your proposal of a short verbal explanation is excellent. However, it is
unapplicable for databases (e.g., POWO or IPNI), and, taking into
consideration that I am working with about 1K taxonomic names, it will be
also problematic to arrange in the table format. Of course, I can and will
explain this aspect in the footnotes, but I want to make a maximally clear
dataset of the accepted names and their synonyms that can be easily
readable and convertible in the future.

Best regards, Andriy.
