Does the "aff" tag fit here? Never quite sure how it is
applied. Always think of it as meaning "related to" or "possibly"
when I see it in naming.
Try "looks a lot like X." The qualifying phrase "to me" is implicit,
methinks.
AFAIK (as far as I know) "aff" is used for as-yet unidentified
plants. It serves as a rough description by reference to another,
known species that it resembles reasonably closely.
