Hi Doina earlier you put actual ID with Binomial name. I just removed it from that column to ID column. You must put only synonym along with Binomial name not the ID.
DoinaRussu
Thank you so much for your appreciation, textless! You are amiable, as always:)
DoinaRussu
Sorry, Ashish, the ID was not correct?
