Norfolk Island vascular plant curation

Decided to do some clean-up work for iNat obs of vascular plants for Norfolk Island.

First important thing to note here is that, within iNat, Norfolk does not count as part of Australia (place ID = 6744), but rather is its own separate entity (place ID = 7333). One consequence of this is that non-native species that have already been marked as introduced for Australia have to be marked again for Norfolk, so this is one task I'll be doing.

Second task is marking clearly planted/cultivated plants as such.

Third is to try ID observations to species where possible. I'm only noting ones where a 'new' species is added to the island inventory due to my ID (so IDing the 10th observation of a species with 9 observations already is irrelevant here).

  3. Punica granatum
  4. Acacia (also updated ID to A. spirorbis)
  5. Ficus macrophylla

'New' species via IDs

  1. Updated the single Rubus observation to R. grabowskii. Doesn't actually increase the species (leaf) count, but good to get it to species
  2. Updated Alpinia sp. to Alpinia zerumbet. Ditto Rubus re species count
  3. Updated Senna sp. to Senna septemtrionalis. Ditto species count
  4. Updated Prunus sp. to Prunus persica. Ditto
  5. Updated Yucca sp. Yucca aloifolia. Ditto
  6. Updated Ranunculus sp. to Ranunculus muricatus. Ditto
  7. Updated Erigeron to Erigeron bonariensis
  8. Updated Faboideae to Lotus angustissimus
  9. Updated Onagraceae to Ludwigia peploides
  10. Updated Cyperus to Cyperus polystachyos
  11. Updated Asteraceae to Facelis retusa

'Removed' species via IDs

  1. Carex dissita --> corrected ID, actually Carex neesiana (which used to be a var. of dissita)
  2. Vicia tetrasperma --> misidentification of V. hirsuta
  3. Geranium homeanum --> corrected ID, fairly sure actually G. gardneri
  4. Lonicera japonica --> downgraded to 'Dicots', unsure what it is (but pretty sure not Lonicera)
  5. Ammophila arenaria --> Spinifex sericeus instead

Pending

  1. Eustachys sp. pending naturalised confirmation
  2. Passiflora pallida pending discussion
  3. Gloriosa superba pending naturalised confirmation
  4. Dovyalis caffra pending naturalised confirmation
  5. Agapanthus praecox pending naturalised confirmation
  6. Parochetus sp. pending naturalised confirmation
