Hullo everybody!
Taking advantage of another window of opportunity.
Selected representative examples illustrating the basic range.
CAVEAT:
This post is presented as is.
Should any of the labelling become a source of bewilderment/confusion, please do not be concerned. Simply ignore. It is merely for the ease and consistency of taxonomy.
Better photos, examples and other details I’ll leave for the aficionado and those more able than I (if they’re not already available elsewhere in this forum).
Enjoy!
