Species Identification Task Force Submissions

These are submissions sent to SITF by centers or exhibitors. They are labeled by the name they came with initially. When their identity is confirmed, the last line on the page will have those results. Sometimes on the page or in additional information areas we will post reference material pertinent to the submission. You may comment but ask that comments be about the identity of the plant or references.
