Identifications
Please note that the deadline for identifications is 14 December (not 11 December as reported in many areas).
Most local areas should now be done. However, expertise is not usually province based, but biome based. So please help out in other areas if you can.
- Add in your group (family, genus) in the taxon box of the links below to get to your speciality.
- if your group is done, please consider helping out in other groups or other areas.
- if you find a tree that you dont know, please add the trees project to alert our tree fundis. The project to join (once off) and then add is https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/trees-of-southern-africa-id and you can also help ID trees here!
- Dont forget to mark any interesting, unusual or exciting observations by Adding a FAVE

Comments
If you have any special requests, please ask.
Note, unless observers use the Habitat project, we cannot divide between finer biomes (e.g. Forest, Thicket, Fynbos, Grassveld, etc.).
TIPS
Quick Review (2 mins) of using the ID tool:https://vimeo.com/246153496.* (Note: to add the Trees project, you will need to pop out the observation using the VIEW option on the "info" tab (the one you do most of the work in).
.* Remember to FAVE
.* Remember to mark observations that are Captive/Cultivated.
.* Remember to "Mark as reviewed" all observations that you dont want to see again (do it at the end of each page).
Eswatini doesn't seem to be included in the links above ... so ...
Eswatini flora - 221 observations need IDs, 413 need confirmation
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?lrank=genus&place_id=any&project_id=great-southern-bioblitz-2023-eswatini&quality_grade=needs_id&subview=table&verifiable=any
Eswatini should be in Highveld ...
(sorry: yes, it should be half and half, but it is only one place - had there been several places, I could have placed them appropriately - in highveld and lowveld. )
