If this article is about Cundurango, a name for a certain kind of bark, rather than Gonolobus condurango, the plant from which it is derived, maybe it doesn't need a taxobox. Or maybe the article should be changed to the species name, instead of the common title. Suggestions? Mmcknight4 18:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mmcknight4 Serious nomenclatural problems here. I checked with standard on-line databases listing plant names (Tropicos, The Plant List, IPNI). No such thing as Gonolobus condurango. Name is Gonolobus cundurango, with a u, not an o. This is listed as an unresolved name, meaning that they are not quite sure what plant this refers to. Marsdenia cundurango is not the same thing. This as applied to the Cundurango plant is an illegitimate name anyway. This is Marsdenia cundurango G. Nicholson 1885, not Marsdenia cundurango Rchb. f. 1872. Using the same name to refer to two different plants is not cool.Joseph Laferriere (talk) 13:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
