  Impressive!
  
  Are you sure about that binomial name, though? All the results I see when looking for slipper plant return "Euphorbia lomelii" as the binomial name. Posted 12 years ago

    You are right, they are synonyms, but it seems that Euphorbia lomelii is the latest one. There was no wiki page for either of them, but I see that you don't need one to make an ID :)

      Yes I created an entry manually in JungleDragon's back-end. It's a very cumbersome process so I only do it by exception. In the future I will provide a feature to create species that are not found in Wikipedia. Posted 12 years ago
