The others are grouped as the intermediate form.

https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/22862, I'm confused: what do you mean by the others? Was there a name change? one of the earlier Majura Ainslie Flora list of 2010 has A. intermedia; the recent lists have A. calycina; the ACT Census has ONE entry which is "Amsinckia calycina - intermedia [intermediate]". CNM has A. calycina, A. intermedia and Amsinckia calycina/intermedia (intermediate), the latter of the three is the same as the Census. All the same ONE species?

Yes, for the ACT I think there is one species, the form listed in the Census, which is an intermediate type between 2 separate species, A. calcinya and A. intermidia. So we should use the name from the Census which is in CNM and that is where the other sightings from Mt Majura are. To distinguish between the species is tricky without the fruits, which we don't have and don't want to have.

okay abread111 I agree, the name Amsinckia calycina - intermedia [intermediate] is a bit long (for the printed version of our Flora list)
