  1. I’m envious Theo – wish I could be with you!  Can you give details of the distinguishing characteristics between N. serotinus and N. miniatus?  And if N. miniatus is  a proven child of N. elegans x N. serotinus should it not really be called N. x obsoletus (HAworth) Spach. on grounds of precedence as it was recorded many, many  years ago by Haworth? No doubt Harold, as the author of N. miniatus, will comment. I’d like to have Ben’ Zonneveld’s view also because I think thee are  grounds for confusion ref. the correct name.
