Besides the fact that the Cercidium into Parkinsonia merge is debatable taxonomically, this taxon change also completely did away with var. macra and var. texana (a critical distinction)! This is going to be such a headache to have to manually sift through every observation one-by-one to correct, and individual observations can only be corrected if the majority of users agree!

A good example of why curators should ideally only ever commit taxon changes on taxa they are personally well knowledgeable in.
