Plantdrew: I think this is too simple. I see both of the synonyms' genera are valid and distinct, and that the species is listed at one of the two. I think your expertise is required here to sort this out. -

@
UtherSRG:, sorted. Calamovilfa isn't "valid" ("valid" is a zoology term; "
validly published" is a botany term, but it has a different meaning than the zoology term); according to POWO (among other references), Calamovilfa is a synonym of Sporobolus. Wikipedia needs some updating to reflect the status of Calamovilfa as a synonym (including moving species articles). At this point, just about any plant genus article with a manual taxobox is a regarded as a synonym in recent sources. I'm slowly working my way through remaining plant genera with manual taxoboxes, but it takes some work to update the species articles as well.
