Warren
Thank you for your comment
Thank you for your comment Warren, I made the correction.
thank you both
thank you both for the way you sorted this out.

So...there is no accepted var. alba
Therefore following our site conventions we do not allow the var. alba in the 'title'.
You are however welcome to add the var. alba within the body. Thats for you as the person who posted this wonderfully put together post to decide Daniel.
