  There's NO PLANT #NAME on this label! Not even a genus. Come on guys, you can do better than this!

  Well this is interesting because I was just trying to decide if scientific name should be required or not in the new system.

  There isn't a skip option in the new system so you kind of get stuck in a situation like this. It does seem like a rare case. Thoughts?

  The plant is a Scirpus (in a broad sense) in the Cyperaceace BTW.

  Maybe we could put something like "Unlabeled species."

  I knew it! Even with a dead flattened specimen, you could spot the genus easily. 1 of these collectors should've (they're not inexperienced)

  This is the first label I've seen (over 4500 transcribed) with no name at all; have had 20 or 30 with only genus. Might be useful to [1/2]

  [2/2] to have a way to flag up an odd case that needs attention. Even with a name, occasionally it's illegible, too faded, too blurry, etc.

  Surely you already know but: everything else needs to be optional. There are some incredibly sparse labels, in addition to unreadable ones.
