"Spineless hornwort"

[edit]

USDA PLANTS calls this species "spineless hornwort". How best is this inaccurate information included in the Wikipedia, if at all? —Hyperik talk 15:09, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be a name that was coined (or at least endorsed) by John Kartesz (search at http://bonap.net/tdc). It was picked up by USDA PLANTS and then spread to ITIS. A redirect for "spineless hornwort" exists. We could just not mention it in the article (I think I've come across some other Kartesz/PLANTS names that were contradictory).
