While I am not happy with the namecliture choice available as I would personally prefer Bunochilus tunstallii, I agree with and confirm the species suggested.

Ha! If someone would agree so that us newbies have a clear idea of what is what!

Derek, If you would prefer we can change the taxa, I shifted Naturemaprs use of Genoplesium to Corunastylis on the advice of David L. Jones. Inat uses Pterostylis as a blanket genera, but their various curators can't seem to agree on anything taxa wise. I reckon Naturemapr should be universal as to what taxa is accepted, (i.e. accpeting all Bunochilus species or placing them all in Pterostylis).

No I think that would be too contentious without considerably more consensus both firstly among experts and then following that, the moderators general agreement for changes like this. I would suggest the the Genoplesium/Corunastylis issue would possibly have more consensus now. It is also important to be aware Genoplesium baueri remains a separate exception and not included in any name change to Corunastylis.

Yeah, that's probably the best approach. Though I don't know what we'll end up having to do about these taxaonmic "differences of opinion" as Naturemapr moves to incorporate the whole of Australia. We are behind on many genre and ahead on seemingly just as many I think. Inat still uses Genoplesium, but from what else I could find Corunastylis was more or less accepted. I didn't change G.baueri, David was very clear about that!
