Should the name in the EASIN Catalogue be changed to Humulus japonicus, as indicated in ITIS?

The Plant List gives Humulus scandens (Lour.) Merr. as valid name. However the Euro+Med adopts Humulus japonicus Siebold & Zucc. as valid and H. scandens as its synonym. My suggestion is to follow Euro+Med.

Following EB expert's opinion, Humulus scandens to be changed to Humulus japonicus in EASIN Catalogue, H. scandens to be kept as synonym.
