I am new here. I have joined iNaturalist to record observations in my local reserve. I work from a Local government survey of plants in the reserve completed in 1993. I have found (I think) most of those plants, and identified them accordingly to that which they were originally identified. I do get some wrong. It is somewhat frustrating when I identify a plant and then have the ID changed to ID the Genus.
Surely, if you can’t ID it correctly then let it sit as is.
I initially started identifying as “Plant” for Taxa that weren’t on my list, but the response I got was flowering plant. I think that is just a joke. Since then I have started having a guess, mostly guided by iNaturalist.
What is the best way to get the ID to research grade?
