I can not add a valid species to iNat

Hello, I’m trying to add the species Bunchosia heterotricha, which is recognized by several botanical authorities, including Kew Garden, but when I try to search for it, it doesn’t appear. A professional botanist identified it, and there are currently no observations of this species in iNat.

not every species in existence has been added to iNat yet, so for many taxa, they get added as needed when observations come into the platform

I have added the species for you: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1618033-Bunchosia-heterotricha

if you encounter more missing species, please create a flag directly in iNaturalist and a curator will add it for you. To do this, go to the direct parent, eg https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/184494-Bunchosia, then click Curation → Flag for curation
