Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Psoraleeae. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Otholobium 142439
The genus Otholobium contains over 50 species in Southern Africa (SAf) and 8 in South America (SAm). In this new paper (see at the end) the genus Otholobium is placed within genus Psoralea, which in turn adopts two new subgenera: subgenus Psoralea (containing true or old genus Psoralea) and subgenus Otholobium (old genus Otholobium and a few new species). In a future paper, the SAm Otholobium will be given a new genus name: Grimolobium. This has yet to take place.
Therefore, this split only aims to move SAf Otholobium to subgenus Otholobium (all species have already been shifted individually due to minor spelling changes). This is why the genus Otholobium and its 8 SAm species remain intact for the time being - until the future paper officially recognises SAm Otholobium as a distinct genus. Then, a new swap will take care of this. It is redundant to move SAm Otholobium into a new temporary genus Otholobium concept, given this inevitable future change.
Effectively, this is part 1 of a two-part split to be carried out over time where part 2 will cover moving SAm Otholobium to Grimolobium.

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
