Gramene Development Site Feedback: Zea mays subsp. ramosa?

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Hi Marty,

Thanks for pointing the error. You are right, we pulled it from the 
NCBI. Let me know when the NCBI is able to fix it. We will do so 
subsequently. If you agree, can merge this entry with species Zea mays 
subsp. mays.
