I'm not sure how iNaturalist handles Candidatus species....let's see if anyone can tell us:

The genus "Phytoplasma" should be capitalized. Although the name "Candidatus Phytoplasma rubi" is correct, the name should be changed to "Phytoplasma rubi" for consistency with every other taxon in this genus.
