20162908  pnw abu

Eria ovata, award 20162908, has been determined to be Eria dillwynii by SITF (June 2016).  Eria dillwynii is considered by the  Kew List to be a synonym of Pinalia bractescens, but this may in the future be taken out of synonymy and be its own species again, so the description needs to add that “Eria ovata, award 20162908, has been determined to be Eria dillwynii by SITF” so this can be searched in the future.
