Request for better description of "cultivated/captive"

Wild. As long as no member of Homo sapiens planted the plant, the plant is wild by iNaturalist definitions as I understand them. You noted that you did not plant the plant, the plant “volunteered itself” into your yard. Whether a plant species was introduced to a location by people in the past is a botanic question and is not the defining characteristic of wild in iNaturalist, not as far as I understand iNaturalist’s wild. Sphagneticola trilobata was brought to the island I live on circa 1970. The plant rapidly went invasive and is now a self-sustaining population. The plants are all wild, no one since the early 1970s has intentionally planted Sphagneticola trilobata.
