Talk:Helxine

Untitled

Helxine cannot simply be redirected to Soleirolia without disambiguation. The genus name Helxine is not only a synonym for Soleirolia soleirolii (family Urticaceae) but also for seven other species that are now placed in four different genera of another family, Polygonaceae. This gives rise to a need not just to redirect but to disambiguate the name. Otherwise the redirect bypasses several WP articles.
