Identity of "File:Leucospermum catherinae-IMG 9192.JPG" and others

Hi Christer, On 16 May 2014 you uploaded the above and several other files of a member of Leucospermum (Proteaceae) taken in the Quito Botanical Gardens, Ecuador, and filed them under Leucospermum catherinae. This is an obvious misidentification, presumably based on (as unfortunately is so often the case) an incorrect label in the garden. Leucospermum catherinae is quite a distinct species characterised by the styles twisting clockwise in the flowerhead; it definitely does not match your plant. Hence I have taken the liberty to move the relevant files to the Category Unidentified Leucospermum. I suspect your plant may well be a cultivar of some other species, many of which are available in the trade, and often requiring expert knowledge to identify them positively. If you agree with the move, you may want to change the file names accordingly. Best regards, SAplants (talk) 15:30, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
