Thanks. I will have to be in a much clearer thinking state to venture into that. It is a fabulous resource and has resolved many problems.

@WendyEM Wendy, I know very little myself but have works out it’s made up of four acids, adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). These are the letters you see in the public data area on BOLD and look like ACAATCGTAACA---etc. A good sequence is made up of 658 of these letters. Sometimes it is only partial and have far fewer. I have made up a spread sheet which helps me compare one against the other but BOLD v5 has a Barcode ID where you can add a sequence and see what it matched.
Where it helps, the image of Endotricha approximalis, Record Details ANICC522-10 looked out of place and BOLD’s Endotricha approximalis page noted 5 specimens with barcodes in 3 Bins an indication that there could be more than one species or possibly partial DNA causing the problem. Copy the DNA sequence of Endotricha approximalis ANICC522-10 into the Barcode ID of BOLD v5 and you will see it is 100% match for 19 specimens of Endotricha mesenterialis, indicating it is misplaced in E. approximalis.

Can’t advise on the species, doubtless someone else will comment. I’ve seen clumps like this on Black Mountain (many years ago)
Unverified Fern or Clubmoss
