Regarding iNat During the City Nature Challenge: I Think it's Fun

I check Geomodel Anomalies for the Cape Peninsula every day.

Is it an Anomaly, or a local Endemic in an area too small for the Geomodel’s blocks?

(The wording and function has changed a little, but it is in my head as it was) CV suggests Seen Nearby. I go to the map hunt down That One - it used to be, a single obs, with a single ID - and then it spiralled, if identifiers didn’t fight back. If we can clear the older problems, there is less going forward. Yesterday it was Typha capensis (yes) versus dominguensis (no, not in our South).
I leave a comment - since I have tracked down the info anyway
You have chosen a sp from … tweaked to fit each obs.

And the other way. If I am checking distribution maps and I don’t expect to see The World with Weird Outliers. While remembering invasives and garden plants, sigh … once burnt, now very wary.
You have chosen a sp from South Africa. Might be … definitely dicot … whatever
