Thanks for the positive feedback. I decided to upload all of my Psoralea pictures as the genus seems to baffle most, including me at times. Expect a flurry....
Looking forward to them. Must

Looking forward to them.
Must chase up the iSpot team for our ID tool!! This will be an amazing example for its use.
Wow. A perfect documentation

Alls that missing here are the pollinators and herbivores, and they would be posted as separate observations anyway!
Many thanks!
