Use this record in the field
Compare several features rather than relying on a single photograph. Note the overall growth form, leaf arrangement, and any visible flowers or fruits. Keep your own location and observation date separate from the published distribution above.
What if the name is uncertain?
Keep the identification tentative. Record the features you can see, then ask for help. A similar-looking plant or a shared common name is not enough to confirm a species.
