I found a problem with Salvia microphylla, incorrectly assigned to Sessé & Moc., 1893. The name currently belongs to a taxon identified by Carl Sigismund Kunth, in IPNI (https://www.ipni.org/?q=Salvia%20microphylla) known as Salvia microphylla Kunth, but IPNI also has Salvia microphylla Sessé & Moc., but this second taxon is a synonym of Salvia melissodora Lag., see Plants of World Online (https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/77246831-1). It seems impossible to add a second record with the same name and the modification of the existing one is not allowed.
