To be really confident, you need to know
plant height
mid-stem width
stem colour (green, blue-green)
stem hardness
whether the pith is continuous or discontinuous
shape of flowerhead
whether the flowers tepals are shorter than, equal to or longer than the mature capsule
Leaf sheath colour at base of plant
