I've found the guide to be incredibly helpful and if you're not confident with using the morphological characters that can be influence by the environment then just use the characters that are stable.
It is fairly easy to distinguish the FHIA-01 from the FHIA-18 by just using this guide.
The guide states, that the FHIA-01 has a short heart-shaped male bud with wide shoulders and bracts that lift one at a time.
Now by just using that short description. try to see if you can distinguish FHIA-01 from FHIA-18.
