      1. I could, but did not. The trick is simple. When Christine does research and provides a list of candidates, it's always the last one. You don't even need to check (although I did check), it seems to be consistently true, so it's becoming an inside joke :)

        I'd guess it's a natural progression in searching for a candidate, where the last ones get increasingly close/accurate.

      2. I mean, I can't go back in time, but can edit things. But I suppose that goes without saying, which is what I should have done. Posted 4 years ago
        1. I am totally changing my routine, if I remember, which may or may not happen. Posted 4 years ago
  2. I think the latter. Hahncappsia pergilvalis is really close but not quite. Posted 4 years ago
    1. Thanks! Posted 4 years ago
