PLANT IDENTIFICATION SERVICE
Plant material (live or dried) from the following groups will be accepted for identification: Southern African ferns, cycads, conifers and flowering plants; cultivated exotics in these groups and weeds. Unfortunately, we cannot handle other groups such as algae, mosses, lichens or fungi.
