A Brunswick Co flava with a red-throat phenotype uncommon in NC. Taxonomic ambiguity between var. flava and var. rugelii. 4 Mike photos (single 2019-05-09 post).
Standout traits
- Red throat — phenotype much less common in NC than the typical light-veined-throat var. flava
- Taxonomic ambiguity — between var. flava and var. rugelii in Mike's reading
Cultivation
- Lived in a community tray as a juvenile and was not well- cared-for at the time of the 2019 thread; Mike planned to transplant.

Naming
Mike's working label — describes the red-throat phenotype uncommon in NC flavas. Mike (2019) wasn't sure whether to call it var. flava or var. rugelii. alexis (2019-05-10) matched the description to var. flava.
