Have all Homalocephala polycephala now become obscured? I'm sure they weren't before. Is this intentional?

no i didn't, you mean the point in the map?, if is that then maybe someone from the US did it, many people like to steal this kind of plants for their gardens

Well, I haven't looked at every observation, but it seems the ccordinates are now obscured for almost all if not all polycephala. I'm almost positive they weren't before, that's why I wondered if the taxon swap had changed something. Perhaps it's as you say and someone else did this. Or, of course, I may be misremembering. Still, polycephala isn't listed as vulnerable or threatened is it?

no, it is at Least Concern sensu IUCN

Strange that the coordinates seem to be all obscured then. Again, I may be wrong, but I downloaded a copy of the iNat database for Cactaceae a year ago and when I look at the database it seems that most of the polycephala are not obscured.

I have an observation of polycephala from a couple of years ago, and am planning to get around to upload it (and some others) soon, so I'll guess I'll find out soon enough.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
