The Cucurbita argyrosperma situation is a little unusual for synonym lists in wikipedia because the synonyms needed aren't listed exactly at the one TPL link. It is necessary to click on both the Cucurbita argyrosperma Huber link and the Cucurbita argyrosperma subsp. argyrosperma link. That situation reflects uncertainty in the taxonomy, that some synonyms are considered to match the species, but for some reason are not considered or not known to match the autonymous subspecies.
