The critical information needed in telling the two narrow leaved Hibbertias in the ACT apart is that the sepals cupping the flower in stricta have wart-based star-shaped hairs or are hairless, while the sepals of calcycina have simple hairs overtopping the star-shaped hairs. This requires either field notes or a photo of a flower side on clear enough that the hairs on the sepals are easily seen.
There are several species where a photo showing the sepals is essential for a definite ID. In addition, for most plants, photos of leaves and their relationship to the stem clear enough to show surface features like hairs and warts, and a photo of the ehole plant are often essential.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am not a botanist and its difficult for a non-botanist to know what information is required to ID all plants.
