Thanks Ken; Obviously this is a brand new name and
would not be in any references except its own new
diagnosis. I will try to get a copy for the Nordic
Journal of botany from Mobot after I get back from
convention in two weeks and maybe we can see what this
critter looks like, My quess is it is probably a
symnoym of one of the small Turkish bearded species
but then again maybe it actually is something entirely
new to science.
