It’s usually possible to find some more “Unknowns” for any particular area if you go to Filters, remove the checkmark from Verifiable, and then click on the “leaf with question mark”/Unknown category. This brings up casual observations (i.e. those lacking a location or an observation date and those marked as “Captive/Cultivated”).
