The process of identification connects the specimen with a published name. Once a plant specimen has been identified, its name and properties are known.
A survey published in 2017 [4] systematically compares and discusses progress and findings towards automated plant species identification within the last decade (2005–2015). 120 primary studies have been published in high-quality venues within this time, mainly by authors with computer science background.
The tree produces spiky green fruits about the size of a golf ball, which turn brown and drop off the tree over an extended period beginning in fall and continuing over the winter.
Eleocharis acicularis is a species of spikesedge known by the common names needle spikerush [2] and least spikerush.It is widespread across Europe, central and southeastern Asia, North America and northeastern South America as far south as Ecuador. [3]
In biology, an identification key, taxonomic key, or frequently just key, is a printed or computer-aided device that aids in the identification of biological organisms. Historically, the most common type of identification key is the dichotomous key , a type of single-access key which offers a fixed sequence of identification steps, each with ...
