Dear H S We are supposed to provide detailed description of the plant which is already identified by the author. It implies that he has checked the description of the plant before uploading. The details of plants are necessary for those who are uploading plants for ID. We should be happy that a person who already knows about his plant is sharing it with with. If you have your doubts you should highlight your doubts, rather than asking the author to give you details. It would rather be good for you that when you contradict some identification, you should give reasons rather than a usual one line decision. We should justify our decision, especially when we are contradicting others.
