      The scroll down menu in the "identify species" tab still provides only for the typo.
      Your corrected spelling has not refreshed in the search menu.
      You are welcome to identify this species if that is easier.       Posted 7 years ago

        No worries, what you see in the dropdown is a synonym that actually leads to the correct value. This way, whenever in the future people spell it incorrectly, it will still work. Posted 7 years ago
