Thanks … for correcting.<\/div>\n
…,\u00a0As per gbif Microstegium ciliatum<\/em> is synonym of Microstegium fasciculatum<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
https:\/\/www.gbif.org\/species\/<\/span>search?<\/span>=<\/span>Microstegium%20ciliatum<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
Moreover FOC also mentioned that both species are closely related and even difficult to distinguish at least in herbarium.<\/div>\n
Here’s the link<\/div>\n
http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/<\/span>florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&<\/span>taxon_id=200025695<\/span><\/a>
\nSo i think for now following gbif we should merge the <\/span>Microstegium ciliatum<\/em> page into <\/span>Microstegium fasciculatum<\/em>…<\/span><\/div>\n
