Is it that simple? A number of sources around the place say that albicans can have white bracts. It’s pretty confusing… anyway, I will ID this way from now on and happy to have found the ‘rare’ one!

I believe that is correct yes, the census doesn't include the subsp anyways. However, we as CNM incorporate a signifcant amount of NSW so it is important to maintain the distinction.
