Incorrect taxonomic synonyms section
editI don't think all of the "synonyms" listed on this page belong here:
• Digitalis fuscescens - Is a separate accepted hybrid species between D. grandiflora and D. purpurea.
• Digitalis kotukovii - I cannot find anything about this supposed synonym.
• Digitalis × mertonensis - Is correct.
• Digitalis obtusa - Is a synonym of Digitalis lutea subsp. lutea, which is an accepted subspecies of D. lutea.
• Digitalis purpureoides - I cannot find anything about this supposed synonym.
As far as I can tell Digitalis × mertonensis is the only accepted synonym of Digitalis × fulva:

As for the other four synonyms, two on the list are undeniably incorrect, while I can't find any citation sources to suggest the remaining two are correct. I'm wondering if they should be removed from the page as the information has been listed since the pages conception in 2011 and the page creator failed to correctly cite the information. If some of the information is wrong and improperly cited, I'm very sceptical about the validity of Digitalis kotukovii and Digitalis purpureoides.
I'm going to remove the taxonomic synonym paragraph from the article. If someone finds a valid citation source for either Digitalis kotukovii or Digitalis purpureoides, I encourage you to add the respective synonyms to the speciesbox. JarroNevsbaru (talk) 16:04, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
