There are 2.935 species of Lamiaceae on Inaturalist. I want to see just one picture of as many of them as possible (there is this one plant, but I can’t get to it because it’s behind an enclosure, this is my desperado way of trying to find out what it could be - a tactic that I have used with good r…

Can you narrow it down by location? I would probably start with a location page and look for Lamiaceae in the checklist.

It’s the max number of species shown at a time (500), you need to use more filters to see others. Though if you can photograph it even from a distance it’ll be easier to tag experts on it.

if you can get even a bad photo of the plant, you could post it to iNaturalist to see what others think (or what the computer vision suggests). otherwise, if you just want a lineup of mints, you could try either of these: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_taxa.html?taxon_id=48623&per_pag…

Putting your country should narrow down the list enough that you can scroll through all of them.

Thanks, sadly the picture is much smaller, but better than nothing I guess.

the code for both of those pages is located at: https://github.com/jumear/stirfry . you could get it and save a local version with the changes you need. replace the line that looks like: .icon { height:48px; width:48px; border-radius:50%; } … with something like: .icon { height:150px; width…

I would also highly suggest you post photos (with as many details as possible) to the iNaturalist website. It would be extremely difficult to identify a plant based off of a single photo, with no context, out of hundreds of similar-looking options.

It depends, it works well for highly charateristic looking plants. Posting a picture on inaturalist is useless. Nobody will notice as far as I can tell.

Sorry that is your experience of iNat. I recognise your name because you have been helping with Cotoneaster / Pyracantha in Cape Town. Thank you.
