Description: Plazi apparently has some odd synonyms which are host plants or just any scientific name appearing in a treatment. We might need to exclude all Plazi synonyms from the nub to avoid garbage.

-----
e.g. host plants in this treatment:
http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DD4A0CC653FFB0CBC2FC38FBB525F1

Here are some example records as we receive them in Darwin Core:
http://www.gbif.org/species/119394855/verbatim
http://www.gbif.org/species/119394854/verbatim

In GBIF all the highlighted names from plazi end up like synonyms of Agrilus illectus Fall 1901: http://www.gbif.org/species/119394848/synonyms

The names are all tagged in taxonX:

Implemented a config option to ignore synonyms from nub sources. Defaults to the Plazi organization:
