Given that its spring in the US and its full steam ahead on ramp foraging, I figured I’d ask because I’m going to have a lot of ramp observations to add in the next few weeks - I just noticed that Allium triccocum was, recently, bounced to a species complex level, which means I have several formerly research grade obs that aren’t any longer.
And like, that’s fine, its easy enough to hit ‘good as can be’ under data quality, but does anyone know why the decision was made and if there are relevant papers that can help break it down to subspecies? Or is the genus just in a transitional spot with some species that haven’t been formally described?
There’s only two species currently listed under the species complex (Allium burdeckii and Allium triccocum triccocum) but I don’t know if its appropriate to go adjust stuff to A. triccocum triccocum
