I think,“cultivated” is an important keyword in the response of @kmagnacca The question of OBs of cultivated plants was discussed with some heat in other thread (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/disappointing-consistent-failure-users-not-marking-observations-as-cultivated/8791), but this may be the reason of certain reluctance (and resulting lack) of IDing botanists. If they subscribe to plants in certain area, they also get all the mass of cultivated plants not marked as such. Which may be huge amount in some areas. And I can very well understand that this may be a serious deterrent for IDers especially for the new ones. They take a look and run away.
