Hi Giby Ji. I appreciate and understand that all the botanist always wants the best information from the plant around them to get it identified if not they feel frustrated. But we should also consider that most of the members in our group are non-botanist and have very little ideas about the technical morphological complexities in the plant. Though some non botanist members have great knowledge about such technical terminologies but still the majority stays unaware of it. Hence I think you can make such non-botanist members aware of what we actually expect from them in a more calm and refined manner rather getting too excited and robust. So that next time they can try to record the data from the field. I have no intentions to hurt you as you are one an assets in your group hence I believe you will take my words sporting without any hard feelings.
