Vascular Plant ID - Digital or Physical Specimens (NOT Returned)
SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS
Provincial specimen collection guidelines are provided here: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/pubs/docs/wp/wp18.pdf
Specimens or photographs submitted to EcoLogic for identification should be of sufficient quality to permit identification at the desired taxonomic level. Blurry photographs, incomplete specimens without critical parts, or poorly processed (e.g., moldy, shriveled) specimens may result in an uncertain identification.
Specimens should be submitted one-per-page/packet if possible – identifications will be charged on a per-specimen, rather than per-sheet/packet, basis.
Additional information associated with the identification (i.e., the critical features of the specimen) may be included with the identification if requested.
Data associated with species-at-risk specimens (e.g., location, date, population characteristics) will be provided to the provincial databases of the B.C. Conservation Data Centre (CDC) unless the data are identified as being proprietary.
Select specimens may be submitted to a regional herbarium at no additional charge.
