If you have no problem getting it published but nevertheless refuse to publish it, then you probably know that there is no beef, only bull, in your claim.

I am not challenging you to publish it in order to refute your claim, I want your claim, if it is true, to be known to science. My theory of how L. alterna evolved and how the silvery gray iris originated in L. alterna is not refuted by the presence of a single individual or even a single population with a differently colored iris, contra your misunderstanding/wishful thinking. My theory is refuted if there is a lot of genetic variability within L. alterna, which would suggest it is an older species than one that has evolved only since the last ice age.
