@Spud hence thank you for your much appreciated identifications this evening !

Please feel free to contact me by private message(s) as well, here in NatureMapr.

Please feel free to introduce yourself in your account profile bio.

Please let us know your experience, eg. with ferns and if you have the experience and motivation for moderating identifications eg. of ferns, here in NatureMapr.

Please feel free to add sightings of your own.

Please keep up the good work.

Good evening from me ! – Jason Stewart – while multi-tasking, by doing both: working here and watching the awesome athletics world championships including awesome Gout Gout ! and Torrie Lewis ! both doing so well for 17 yo and 21 yo respectively.

If you have identification species name(s),
not yet anywhere in the NatureMapr taxonomy listing,
after clicking the relevant, category eg. Plants, and sub-category eg. Ferns and Clubmosses,
and then the button labelled "? Can't find it", – there searching through the whole NatureMapr taxa listing for that category – sub-category .

And searching throughout all the species or taxa in the whole of NatureMapr,
by typing the species or taxon name in the Quick search box on the top right hand corner of the whole web page .

If not finding the species or taxon name anywhere in NatureMapr (even in, rarely sometimes, wrongly categorised species or taxa names).

Then you may copy and paste or type a "New scientific name" for the NatureMapr taxonomy listing,
after clicking the button labelled "? Still can't find it",
and then click the button labelled "+ Suggest new species" .

From there, we moderators check the name and can add this species or taxon name new to NatureMapr from scholarly taxonomy sources eg. APC–APNI for Au plants, including with:
we add the information for that species or taxon of:
origin status, conservation status, invasiveness status or not, any meaningful common name(s),
and the references' citations of the scholarly taxonomy sources .

Thank you @JasonPStewartNMsnc2016, I've been a member for a whole hour or so and already talking to a moderator, pretty cool.

Did as you said and that works. Many thanks.

For what it's worth I'm based in Mid North Coast NSW with a bit of a fetish for ferns.

@Spud – do you run ultra-marathons and have family from Beech Forest (Vic.) ? (–just an old in joke attempted humour, from Vic., on your interesting user handle name too) .
