Yes I agree Tristan, and I would have thought by now anyone on here would know I am not the sort of person to make rash guesses or identifications. I have seen many of the wrongly named pics in the Gallery!

Anyone can say what they like about other features of C. magnifica, but the critical identifying factor is present and very obvious, and in my view that should be enough.
