Taxonomic Swap 168890 (pending)

„The monograph by Kvist and Skog (1989) included Reldia veraguensis as a variety of Reldia minutiflora (Reldia minutiflora var. veraguensis).
Recent fieldwork and studies of herbarium material reveal numerous qualitative characters that support the recognition of Reldia veraguensis as a distinct species. Characters that support the recognition at the specific rank include differences in inflorescence architecture, pubescence, and flower color. Both species contain inflorescences with peduncles, but they differ by the presence of a congested cyme with short pedicels in
R. veraguensis (Fig. 3C) and spreading cyme with elongate pedicels in R. minutiflora. The stems and leaves of Reldia minutiflora are pubescent in contrast to the nearly glabrous stems and leaves of
R. veraguensis. The flowers of Reldia veraguensis are yellow (Fig. 3A, B) and the flowers of R. minutiflora are white.“

https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:60461043-2

The basionym of the species was described as Calathea mansonis (https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44516986). When creating the combination in Goeppertia, the authors changed the epithet to “mansoi” (https://doi.org/10.1600/036364412X648571), which is an error, since the declension of the surname in the basionym is correct (although it is currently recommended not to decline it this way) and should not be changed. More details on this subject can be found at: https://www.ipni.org/n/60461043-2.
Given that both names exist with observations, this swap is required.
