growitall said:A lot easier to just find plant descriptions and match them up (or not) to the plant in question, if necessary. First stop, though, can be checking the photo record. Most plant IDs don't really require DNA testing. Smiling


I used to be involved in taxonomic work regarding tarantula species many years ago. Now, I know spiders are not plants...but you have to believe me when I say that sometimes comparative study and observation are NOT enough. Especially when the folks with PhD's can't agree...

DNA profiling would be 100% accurate. Take human error and/or bias out of the equation.
