Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Aphyllon. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Aphyllon fasciculatum 802543
Schneider & Benton (2021) split A. franciscanum away from A. fasciculatum. The two look fairly similar, but have somewhat non-overlapping ranges and different host preferences. Here's the key couplet separating them in that paper:
Inflorescence corymbose (fully developed flowers at similar heights); plant various hues of pink from pale to deep reddish pink; corolla lobe apex rounded; corolla tube usually bent 45 degrees or more from vertical (but rarely as little as 25 degrees); calyx lobe tips generally uniform in tone; host Artemisia spp... A. fasciculatum
Inflorescence subcorymbose racemes (fully developed flowers at various heights); plant pale yellow to lemon yellow or purple; pedicel, calyx, and outer surface of corolla sometimes tinged purple or brown; corolla lobe apex pointed; corolla tube erect or slightly bent (usually , 45 degrees from vertical, only rarely as much as 60 degrees); calyx lobe tips sometimes darkened, especially when dry; host variable but not Artemisia spp. (Eriodictyon, Eriogonum, Phacelia most common)... A.franciscanum

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
