Thanks for the species request, but it looks like there's no need for it. I just identified it using the normal search box just fine. Be sure to click the search button. Posted 10 years ago

  Hmm, strange, I wrote that in precisely, it showed the searching icon and came up empty. Back to the drawing board! :) Posted 10 years ago

    Perhaps it was the difference in including the dash or not? Either way, for better reliability it is recommended to use the binomial name, less chance of error that way. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

      Perhaps, but what I have been doing is trying with or without the dash if one does not get a hit. Posted 10 years ago
