No problem, it's what I'm here for. And that's a good idea, putting the old scientific name in the notes. I'll follow that format from now on. Cheers, Lori.

Thanks for that, I've put the old scientific name in the "Notes" section.

Malcolm, I've added the full name(s), the new scientific name (it has changed recently, plus NZ and Aus each have a different subspecies) and the wikipedia link. Cheers, Lori.
