Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Chamaecytisus cassius”, the useful work is to connect “species of plant” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q109882124. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1849 and 1944.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
