Clememts and HBW both recognise has Green, Crimson, Yellow, Adelaide,
Northern, Pale-headed, Eastern and Western.
So as usual you can pick a taxonomist (said slightly tongue in cheek).
Important thing is to be consistent!
Hi,
Lumpers and splitters and sometimes a mixture of both. I can
see the reasoning for Crimson/Yellow/Adelaide lumping, but some
currently lump the Pale-headed and Eastern, but not the northern.
To me, Pale-headed seems closer to Northern than Eastern, but I guess
DNA says otherwise.
BTW, do you have a digital copy of the most recent Clements?
Regards,
Vin.
