    Interesting...I think setting up that ID is a good idea if that is what BG recommends. Let's see what Ferdy thinks. Posted 5 years ago

        Cool! It seems that iNaturalist also has the same label, so I think it would be wise to follow suit. This is likely C. amica, but it would be safest to leave it at C. amica-lineela. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
