Do you think all the ACT plants should be shown as subsp. setigerum (egg shaped capsules) rather than the cultivated subsp. somniferum (globular capsules)?

There is a faint possibility that subsp. somniferum might turn up. I would prefer not to be definite unless there are seed cases photographed.
