I didn't know Atlas Cedar was that closely related. Thanks!
"A majority of the modern sources treat it as a distinct species Cedrus atlantica, but some sources consider it a subspecies of Lebanon cedar (C. libani subsp. atlantica)

A Landscaper might call it Lebanon Cedar but a botanist likely would not. However would a horticulturist reading the list just simplify it for a reporter? Possibly, IMO
Or the reporter would haha.

"Investigators approached Michael Dosmann, the Curator of Living Collections at Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum, with the list.
“Looking at that listing, that gives you an idea – where would you find those types of plants, what’s that landscape look like?” Dosmann told WBZ-TV.
The horticulturist determined the pollen to be from local species – native and otherwise"

But 40 different species of plants collected from evidence were identified - so we, the public, just don't have that information.
MOO
