Ferdy, for some reason "Monarda clinopodia" is linking to "Monarda clinopodioides" in the species records. Can you amend this? They are two separate species. Posted 5 years ago

    Thank you for going out of your way to do this! I was talking to one of the local experts, and it turns out this may be a fairly newly described species rather than M. clinopodia. I'm trying to get more information on features, but I may know why the Monarda key for my area was stumping me! I'll update it if it turns out to be that one! Posted 5 years ago
