The previous sitution was the following :
Dryopteris affinis A -> 4 subspecies
Now :
The 4 subspecies have been ranked up to species. (Dryopteris affinis subsp. affinis -> Dryopteris affinis B)
The old taxa Dryopteris affinis A has been ranked up as Dryopteris affinis complex.
We can now add other subspecies for the new species (which was impossible before taxon swap)
Ah that sounds good. It would be useful to add the subspecies on as I think it encourages their use - I suspect people quite commonly won't flag a taxon to add to it when they find their choice is unavailable. D. affinis ssp are a bit specialised but certainly in Britain there's a lot of effort to try to discriminate them. I have a hunch that places with smaller floras are more likely to compensate by delving into subtaxa, hybrids and microspecies more.
I m currently adding ssp. for all "new" species. Already added Dryopteris affinis ssp. affinis (the real) and Dryopteris affinis ssp. pseudodisjuncta.
And i agree with " I have a hunch that places with smaller floras are more likely to compensate by delving into subtaxa, hybrids and microspecies more." that's why british people are very good in some hard groups ;-)
Can someone summarise the logic of the swap. Is it because there were too many incorrect assignments?
Currently PoWo have numerous affinis ssps, at https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:17556900-1#children
I am wondering how these would currently be assigned.
