How to read the credits
Species names and family placement were cross-checked with iNaturalist taxonomy and the linked botanical resources. Descriptions are original summaries, not copied passages. A photograph’s location is not assumed to match the species range. Where an image shows a preserved specimen, its alternative text and description say so.
For iNaturalist photographs, the linked original photo page supplies the creator and exact licence version. CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-SA images are used for this noncommercial educational project; keep these restrictions with redistributed copies. Resized files and display crops retain the applicable original licence. Photo credits are not contributor identities.
