With a bit of working around,
I have added: Dura (genus) to NatureMapr's taxonomy.

(I have not yet worked out what the interaction was with grasses genus Aira .)

It is till doing it today. Have you asked "management" or plant/monocot moderators bout this? Aira is a genus of grass (Poaceae) called Hairgrass. ALA does not list Dura as a synonym for Aira as far as I can see. There are however a couple of moncots that have dura as a species - Sclerochloa dura (Hardgrass) is introduced grass found in Australia used for turf also - Lomandra multiflora subsp. dura - Stiff Iron-grass whose natural S.A. community is critically endangered.
OR this has nothing to do with it.

I wanted to suggest Dura (genus) but inexplicably the system replaces my suggestion with Aira (genus)!
