We have noticed Frog Ochid (Coeloglossum viride) behaves strangely in Recorder:
In the Survey/Sample tree it is correctly shown as Coeloglossum viride, but if you run a report including ANY of the preferred Taxon fields it comes out as the old Dactylorhiza viridis, even though the original records were entered as Coeloglossum!

A bit of a matter of dispute this one. Genetic studies place it in Dactylorhiza (I am not aware of D. viridis being an old name, it has been Coeloglossum for a very long time), although Stace doesn't as far as I know. Not that that helps any reporting peculiarities.
Chris needs to a take a look at this one. What is reflected in Recorder is the same as on the NHM lists.
In Nameserver Coeloglossum viride points to TVK NHMSYS0000457959 which is Dactylorhiza viridis and it is this key/species which is used in the Organism table. The problem is that on the actual lists this TVK is always used for a synonym, which is why entries always look OK, but reporting is wrong. Think NameSever/Organism table needs changing.
Hi
I have just chatted with Dr Mark Spencer about this and there is considerable debate on whether to include Frog Orchid within Dactylorhiza or whether to keep it in its traditional home in Coeloglossum - as Rob says. If you go purely on the DNA then it is within tolerances for Dactylorhiza but Stace has chosen to keep it in Coeloglossum because it is morphologically distinct and easy to key out as a separate entity. Given that everyone generally follows Stace then I will move it back out to Coeloglossum. :)
Best wishes,
Chris R.
Presumably retaining Dactylorhiza viridis as a synonym?
Yes, I have just raised the Coeloglossum name to be the accepted name and D. viridis will become a synonym. According to Mark he thinks we could be bouncing those around for some time to come! ;)
Yeah, there are a few others like it as well.
We get a few records of the transgeneric hybrid x Dactyloglossum mixtum as well (which I see is correctly placed now as a child of Orchidaceae. If we accept C. viridis into Dactylorhiza, that would have to come too.
