[PCA] Requesting Identifications -- Useful context information

[Larry Morse]

Y'all,

When requesting assistance on plant identifications (photos, descriptions, etc.) it is quite helpful to know some contextual information that can help limit the list of possibilities, especially:
State or Province where seen growing
County (or similar)
Ecological region, physiographic province, etc. (e.g., Piedmont)
Habitat or ecological setting (e.g., streambank in woods, roadside in suburbs, garden weed)
Whether wild or cultivated
Size of plant, and/or size of some distinctive part (leaves, flowers, etc.)
