Lookalike alert

⚠ major cross-file inconsistency: Maryland's file counts this ASIN as a valid cultivar hit for P. divaricata. Every other state file that searched it (CT, DE, FL, GA, ME, MA, NH, NJ, NY, NC, OH, PA, RI, SC, TN, VT, WV, KY, VA) explicitly says the SAME ASIN's sibling listing (`B07CTYR9ZZ`) is actually Phlox stolonifera and refuses to count it. Treat as an unresolved miss, not a hit, until re-verified.
