Hi Marchien you are correct but now there is considered no difference between S. alticola and S. australis with australis being the name to cover both previous species. I hope this makes sense.

Hi Derek, should we merge the 2 species into S. australis?

Yes that would be my suggestion but you may wish to confirm Matt's and Cath's views. I think this is now generally agreed and accepted.

As far as I am aware they are all regarded as australis.
