These names are synonyms for the same plant, but it's not clear which name is "main" (both are classified by The Plant list as "unresolved" – [1], [2]). Anyway, one category should contain all files, the other should be turned into a redirect. --Vachovec1 (talk) 21:48, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers. According to this source, today respected as most authorative for Europe, the binomal name Euphrasia officinalis L. is nom. ambig. meaning ambiguous, so it should be avoided. Explanation: botanical names may differ from author to author and source to source, but in resolving the "most used" or rather, most scientifically correct names (situation is different from species to species) evaluation is made by a group of leading, internationally recognised experts. In case of this species see them here. Plantlist.org is very good source, but we must use and compare more of them if available. So I suggest Euphrasia rostkoviana should be the "main" name used.-Jozefsu (talk) 16:08, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. But I wouldn't dare to do the merging personally, so please someone more experienced to deal with this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jozefsu (talk • contribs) 27 December 2017 (UTC)
