Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 2 georeferenced records inside the native range; none carries a licence permitting republication, so the map shows no points. 1 record outside the range (gardens, roadsides, misidentifications) ignored. Under a dozen records: treat the map as indicative. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 1 in-range record is placed to worse than 10 km and stays on the map but off the climate.
