Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: Wipff & Jones (1995) recommended reducing this taxon to a variety under S. compositus, because of its morphologic similarity. While S. clandestinus and S. compositus are undoubtedly closely related, I prefer to retain the two as species.
