Help clean up computer vision errors! This list of species is for identifying and getting help with “cleaning up” major computer vision errors by raising awareness to reidentify observations. The more correctly identified observations there are, the more accurate computer vision becomes, as it is pe…

I would prefer this to be closed. Someone can create a new topic if they would like. Thanks! Edit to add: I just think that since the model is updated so frequently now it’s not worth having a separate topic like this which gets stale and hard to keep up with. I think flags (or journal posts) work…

Aesthetics are highly subjective. I don’t have one, but I can see the appeal. Out of curiosity, what makes you consider it a “nasty weed”?

It’s very extremely difficult to remove in landscapes. Not only does it climb things, but it makes these little potato-y root tubers and if you miss any when digging it out, a new plant grows back. You have to destroy the whole area looking for them. But yeah I guess it would be controlled in a pot…

“People keep that nasty weed as a houseplant?!” Apparently so. Lots of photos show it in pots. At least those are easy to classify.

I was surprised to see the ones in pots are correctly identified much more often than the ones in the ground!

Kind of a name problem. Asparagus setaceus is Common Asparagus Fern. Asparagus officinalis is Wild Asparagus, although it is also the cultivated species. I think the “Common” helps Asparagus setaceus get mapped everywhere (though it’s frost sensitive). The “Wild” may encourage people to think A.…

I’ve just added related topic: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/auto-ids-of-gastropods-are-completely-useless/16315 Though it’s not the case of few separate taxa, but rather most gastropods. Especially annoying and common wrong auto-suggestions are Helicina orbiculata, Monacha cantiana, Helicella i…

(I am hurt) Perhaps the potted ones got the right name because they were, actively cultivated, the way people use the word outside iNat. But yes I can well imagine that gone feral it would be a nasty weed.

Trachyandra is currently blooming around Cape Town. iNat is determined to offer various northern hemisphere options, that I have never heard of. They then show up on the distribution map as lonely onlies. Bog aspodel? Not.
