    Yes, that's OK. Unfortunately, taxonomic changes are very common for many species and not all sites can keep up with these changes in a timely manner. That's why I always try to check several sources, one of the most up-to-date being ITIS - Catalog of Life.
    I've attached a few more links, the latest of which is Wikispecies. The presumption is that if a Wiki page is created for this species it will match this data. Therefore, we should use the scientific name Pentapogon micranthus.
