I think what the map is showing you is what observations are labeled as right now--so everything currently on the map is the "old" A. obtusifolia (s.l.) and there are no dots for the other taxa because they are inactive and no one has identified as them yet. I atlased both of the two new taxa; at the state level, they're mostly sympatric, so most of the observations will bounce up to Agalinis because there is no way for the system to know which new taxon to assign them to. The two Florida observations are within the range of A. obtusifolia s.s. only, so will get reassigned to that taxon automatically on the basis of the atlases I set up.
I am drafting a journal post with some background on this whole thing and was planning to @ the identifiers, including you, for the current A. obtusifolia observations, so people are aware that they should go back and re-ID to A. obtusifolia or A. decemloba as the case may be.
That sounds good. The Southeastern Grasslands Initiative people doing a quest for A. decemloba should be able to handle that if they have already posted some observations. Thanks!
This is the first taxon split draft I've seen, so I want to make sure I understand what it will do to the observations. There are 19 "Agalinis obtusifolia" observations, and all but 4 of them are at RG grade. What I hope will happen is that all 19 will be re-designated "Agalinis obtusifolia" (the new taxon number) and the observers will be notified of the split, so if they think they have A. decemloba, they can change it themselves. But when I tried clicking the different overlays on the map, it didn't look as though there would be any observations (red dots) after the taxon swap. I'm probably misinterpreting, but can you set me straight? A fascinating process.
