Yes, I do have that guide. I haven't found it as helpful as I'd like, in that either their defining characteristics are not typically shown in the photos folks post, or that some of the characteristics they use (e.g., amount of red in the leaf sheaths) are so environmentally variable that when you compare from one growing site to another, the same variety might look pretty different. I'm not saying it isn't useful for some varieties, but, for example, I'm not convinced I could distinguish FHIA-01 from FHIA-18 just by using it.
