Retrieve synonyms or taxon concepts used in a data set
Description
Plots records are rather linked to plant names than plant taxon concepts and
used_synonyms() lists all synonyms linked to records in a vegtable
object, including their respective accepted names.
On the other side, the function used_concepts() produces a subset of the
taxonomic list embeded in the slot species including only taxonomic
concepts linked to records in the slot samples.
