Hi,
I was wondering why species entries are being handled differently for Sempervivum, Orostachys and a few other succulents, as compared to other species in the database?
Specifically, I notice that what are presumably photo locations (or possibly plant/seed collection sites?) are often noted in the species name, creating multiple entries for the same species.
By contrast, it looks like for other species, this information would be in the information details attached to the photo, and that all photos of the same species, regardless of location, would seemingly be posted to a single entry. (The exception would seem to be plants that could be formally distinguished as subspecies or varieties, which would then allow additional entries to be added for the same species.)
What's up with this? Confused
Thanks in advance,
Lori
