Here's the split draft: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/107815
I atlased both species, but I'm still hesitant to go through with it without another curator looking it over.
Great, thanks! I look forward to it happening whenever the review gets done.
Query, if these are sister species, whether both, or either, belong in the Poterium subgenus.
The sources I've found put annua (and by implication occidentalis) in subgenus Poteridium (Lee et al. 2011) or section Poteridium in subgenus Dendriopoterium (Mishima et al. 2002) , not Poterium, but I'm not up on the latest systematics.
Mishima et al. 2002. Chromosoma 110:550–558, DOI 10.1007/s00412-001-0175-z)
Lee et al. 2011. Plant Syst Evol 291:227–242, DOI 10.1007/s00606-010-0384-0).
@rynxs I see the split ws committed, so this flag should be marked as resoved.
Thanks for the reminder
To be consistent with taxon ranges in POWO and Flora N America, S. annua could use a geographic split, merging those west of Texas into the existing S. occidentalis. I don't know if this is easier for a curator to do, or just start re-identifying all the West Coast observations.
