Thanks for looking at this, Karen.
It is a distinctive species and it does indeed look much more like Isolepis gaudichaudiana. it is so obvious - now !
Based on your feedback, practically all sightings of Isolepis inundata in CNM (except possibly the earliest) should be revised to I. gaudichaudiana.
