Not minasgeraesensis?
Rafael tells me he has to keep the original spelling. I thought it's OK to correct a misspelled name as long as you don't change the first letter.
Anyway, why can't they call it C. grossii?

I coaxed Rafael into changing the spelling.
I found out that essentially you can call it C. grossii if you believe it is a separate species. If you believe that it is part of C. bicolor, then it is subsp. minasgeraensis (I prefer minasgeraesensis).
