Thanks Giby for putting it so well. I have been saying this in my rather lengthy mails many times. All of us, and certainly the plant researchers on this group, should not try to take short-cuts in ids. Plant identification is a complicated and lengthy process, group like this can help in tentative ids- just like we do when we discuss. BUT ids on this group have to be checked and confirmed the hard way- by using OWN observations and interpretation of literature, herbarium data. Dear Muthu, next time please try and convince your funders that a "rapid" survey of plants can turn out to be inaccurate thus jeopardizing the whole process, and hence sufficient time needs to be allocated for plant identification the correct way. Regards Aparna
