@AaronClausen @Choyster @michaelb Same deal here. Grass is an Aristida I imagine

I agree it is Aristida, but the location, in the ocean near Japan, needs correcting. Can You do that Sarah?

Hi Michael. Unfortunately I don't know how to correct the location. The latitude reading needs a minus sign. The location is in the Spring Range area near Fairview Road. Because I was in a deep valley, the GPS on my camera did not work so I read the coordinates off Google Earth which does not include the minus sign.
The same problem exists with another post I made at the same time. It is Sighting 4572896.

Hi Sarah
Click on the Edit button, and click on the "Enter manually" tab and fix. Or zoom in on the map and click on the correct location. Same for the other sighting.
