One of the several confusions of the Plant List
 *Kashmiria* *himalaica* (Hook. f.) D.Y. Hong is an
accepted<http://www.theplantlist.org/about/#accepted>
 name
but does not cite any synonym, not even the basionym

It considers *Falconeria* *himalaica*
Hook.f.<http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2807624> to
be synonym of
*Wulfenia* *himalaica* (Hook.f.) Pennell is an
unresolved<http://www.theplantlist.org/about/#unresolved>
 name

but considers latter as unresolved name.
Unfortunately unresolved names is a category which has greatly dented the
reputation of The Plant List.
