Moved from Pero.

I would say that based on appearances, this would most likely be morrisonia. However, I have to add the small caveat that in just the last 1-2 years, identifying Pero specimens to species from photos has become quite murky, and without a physical examination or DNA, many, many IDs almost need an obligatory asterisk.

That said, based on the appearance here and general criteria for visual distinction, it fits with morrisonia, so that's why I went ahead and moved it. If anyone feels it would be better left at genus level, feel free to move it back - no hard feelings if that's the case. :-)
