I may well have queried this in the past so forgive me... just trying to tidy up (!!)... I make this carlinae, 1500m up in Haute Savoie, early July 3y ago.... but I have grave doubts ... Guy ?, anyone ?... help!



- and can you explain malvae vs malvoides ???

Just a quick look, but it ticks all the carlinae boxes. Nice to have both surfaces. The upf cell spot looks spot on. If Guy doesn't agree I will have a more detailed look, and we have had the debate about the degree of the "C" shape of the carlinae cell spot in the dim and distant past. The unh marginal white mark on vein 5 is sufficiently rectangular for carlinae too. The unh colour looks right too.

I think so too.

Guy

Brilliant, thanks both, yet again
