Topic: Leyland Cypress - missing 'i'

Leyland Cypess on the VASCULAR PLANTS list has the scientific name of Cupressus macrocarpa x Xanthocyparis nootkatensis = X Cuprocyparis leylandi (note the missing 'i' from what should be leylandii. It appears correctly on the Gateway (https://data.nbn.org.uk/Taxa/NHMSYS0020112216) so I assume Recorder is truncating the name somewhere?

Re: Leyland Cypress - missing 'i'

Interesting observation Charlie. It seems fine at my end too, so could it perhaps have hit the maximum length of the display field in Recorder6? One for Mike, I think :)
