User:MargaretRDonald/sandbox/Ficus coronata range

A search on Ficus in NT flora shows that this species is not listed amongst the figs of the Northern Territory. In fact there are at least four records in the Northern Territory shown in the Occurrence data map for Ficus coronata and two in Western Australia. Each of these WA & NT records (with the exception of one) is characterised as a  detected outlier under the heading "Suspected outlier" by the Australasian Virtual Herbarium when the record is inspected.

I note that Flora of Australia states that Ficus coronata is "Endemic in Australia; occurs widely in eastern Qld and N.S.W., rare in N.T. and far eastern Vic. Grows in a wide range of habitats." but does so on the basis of the same records which are detected outliers under the algorithm used by Australasian Virtual Herbarium.

Neither FloraBase nor NT Flora list the species. VicFlora (Ficus coronata), and PlantNET (Ficus coronata list it as occurring in NT, but I suspect this may simply be repeating the "known" facts of Flora of Australia.

For an explanation of the outlier detection method used by the Atlas of Living Australia, see Outlier Detection Method (giving the variable, DETECTED_OUTLIER_JACKKNIFE).
