Maculata

A whole bunch of pictures of H. maculata. I would have thought my Handbooks might have discouraged the “new species” guys who do not seem to recognise what the nature of the game is. There were about 450 names being bandied about that I reduced to about 140. It just seemed to spur these guys on to inventing several hundred more to recreate an unmanageable situation? Perhaps the science of botany itself lost the plot when it was decided that the practicality of genera was actually built around the need for management rather than a dubious science of evolution.
