Description: In large families we block automated basionym discovery if the same epithet has multiple names which appear to be original names, i.e. do not have a basionym author. This means we lose some obvious basionym relations, for example between Gilbertiodendron straussianum (Harms) J.Léonard http://www.ipni.org/ipni/idPlantNameSearch.do?id=496556-1 has the basionym Macrolobium straussianum Harms http://www.ipni.org/ipni/idPlantNameSearch.do?id=505785-1

We can improve the discovery by also looking at all the synonyms of an accepted name and fish for the original name just from this pool]]>
