    Action: changed name from "Empetrum nigrum" to "Phacelia sp. "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Empetrum spp. consist of solitary, inconspicuous flowers in leaf axils, are small, heath-like shrubs in stature, and possess multiple other traits not present in this photo of Phacelia sp. (campanularia?). Phacelia spp. commonly possess bright blue flowers, opposite leaves, etc., which are evidenced in this photo.

    Action: changed name from "Phacelia sp." to "Empetrum nigrum "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "The photo shows clearly the black berries, charasteristic of the crowberry. It is the most common wild berry in Iceland, harvested every year for human consumption. No Phacelia species grow in Iceland."
