Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Description
ID'd at the time as M. tilingii, but looking at the keys I don't see much here to distinguish this from M. guttatus. Flowers were *not* in a raceme if I recall correctly, but I feel like I've definitely seen large groups of M. guttatus that also weren't forming racemes. It does have a speckled calyx, which I'm not sure I've seen in M. guttatus, but M. guttatus is so ridiculously variable that it's hard to rule out.
When you say "closed off throat," do you mean if you look down the throat it appears pinched off at some point, whereas in M. guttatus it looks open all the way down? M. guttatus (or what I have been assuming is M. guttatus, is absurdly variable, so the short / tall thing doesn't seem that reliable to me. I've seen individuals between 2 cm and 40 cm tall.
Yeah, it's hard to see down the throat. I agree that guttatus size is all over the place, but it seems to want to be tall. I've never seen tall tilingii. Don't recall ever seeing a spotted calyx on guttatus, either.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

Comments & Identifications
Closed off throat is characteristic of tilingii, but not guttatus. Tilingii seems to always be short, whereas guttatus can be quite tall.
Dunno :)
