I believe Acianthus are a lot smaller/shorter. Thelymitra sp. Are larger, with a bit of a keel in the leaf. And as Aaron Clausen pointed out, they are a rhubarb-like colour at the base of the stem.

Apols - i just chose Acianthus because its the top of the list and there is no "no bloody idea" [unknown, but i know its an orchid] option

Oh. You're right. Perhaps we should ask Aaron Clausen to add that option.

Thelymitra or Calochilus. Not always easy to distinguish at an early stage of growth.

Hi guys, I have made some changes tonight. Now you can simply select a Species Category (E.g. Orchid) from the Report screen and just leave the Species dropdown as "I don't know". Then the Orchid nominated experts (Tony, Mark Clements, Tobias) will now also receive an email notification. And vice versa for other species categories. Please let me know how you guys find these changes and if it works smoothly etc. Cheers Aaron.
