Topic: Common Centaury

I'm sure this problem has been reported before, but I couldn't find a link and the error is still there in Recorder 6 dict 00000040

Centaurium minus (the default entry on the RP3 BRC card) is only shown as a synonym of C.littorale, the seaside centaury despite it being a synonym of common centaury Centaurium erythraea

The situation appears to be the same on the NBN Atlas

Re: Common Centaury

I think the synonym of C. erythraea is actually "Centaurium minus auct. non Moench" which I can add if you think it is necessary?

Re: Common Centaury
