Turraeanthus africana → Turraeanthus africanus – The latter name was once regarded as a misspelling, but it may be the other ways around. Please see the ICN (ed. 2017, Art. 62.2 (c)), which supports T. africanus and please also note that databases such as Plants of the World Online (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), Tropicos.org (Missouri Botanical Garden) and GRIN-Global (United States Department of Agriculture accept Turraeanthus africanus indeed.

- @エリック・キィ: "it may be the other way around" sounds like the move might not be entirely uncontroversial. I also note that some sources do use africana (e.g. the IUCN redlist), and that the article was moved in 2014 from the proposed title to the current title. Lennart97 (talk) 11:28, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Lennart97: OK, I had to say "it is the other way around". First, the source which the previous move was based on has already been deprecated. The move in 2014 was based on the entry at The Plant List, which is no longer updated since 2013. Second, IUCN Red List relies on an older version of an external website. The IUCN Red List (published in 2020) indeed accepts T. africana, but its taxonomic source relies on Plants of the World Online, whose entry was at first T. africana (25 May 2019) and later altered to the current T. africanus (11 April 2021). All the databases mentioned by both of us do not explain in detail why, so I think the ICN is most helpful in this case where we have to judge which one to choice.

- Sounds fine to me. Support, unless someone comes along with convincing arguments against. Lennart97 (talk) 14:40, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Looks reasonable. YorkshireExpat (talk) 21:24, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- Support Majority of references in the taxonbar have it as africanus, and the ICN provides justification for spelling the species epithet with a masculine grammatical genus. POWO is an important source, and is not included in the taxonbar of this article. It's currently spelled africanus at [POWO], which may have changed relatively recently (iNaturalist moved to africana in September 2019, citing POWO for the move).
