Since S. madeirensis is a geographic name (for the Island of Madeira), it
should be written as such. All other spellings would be treated as
orthographic errors and needs to be corrected. The only exception for
mispelling being acceptable is when Linnaeus uses it (yes, he is the
taxonomic god so everything that he does is considered correct). Kew is
pretty good at this stuff and I would trust their spelling.
