Unresolved names

Notes

^ There is some confusion about Pelargonium × domesticum. The Plant List had the name as "Accepted" in Version 1 and "Unresolved" in Version 1.1 with the following description and note:^[2]
The record derives from Tropicos (data supplied on 2012-04-18) which reports it as an accepted name (record 13900977) with original publication details: Stand. Cycl. Hort. 2532 1916.
* The status of this record (as well as of any names linked with it) has been modified as part of procedures used to resolve data conflicts detected in the supplied data sets.

Tropicos reports the same status and reference for both Pelargonium domesticum and Pelargonium × domesticum: "Authors: Bailey, Liberty Hyde; Published In: The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 2532. 1916." It has Pelargonium domesticum listed as a species^[3] and Pelargonium × domesticum as a nothospecies.^[4]
