5 more days to ID
Five more days to add IDs before the official data pull for the Illinois Botanists Big Year 2021! Here are some ID stat updates:
| Date | January 1st | January 10th |
|---|---|---|
| Unknowns (no ID at all) | 3,768 | 1,941 - nice! (help identify) |
| Plants | 81,720 Research Grade and 96,970 Need ID | 83,524 Research Grade and 96,807 Needs ID - the latter hasn't gone down much because so many "unknowns" have subsequently been identified as plants! (help identify) |
| Needs ID at rank family or coarser | 10,101 | 10,280 - see comment above! (help refine) |
| Needs ID obs by ILBBY 2021 participants | 22,572 | 21,937 (help identify) |
| Identifiers | 2,732 people. Of those, 308 people have made 50 or more IDs on IL plants observed in 2021, 197 made 100 or more IDs, 75 made 300 or more IDs, and 21 people made 1,000 or more IDs. | 2,755 people. Of those, 311 people have made 50 or more IDs on IL plants observed in 2021, 200 made 100 or more IDs, 76 made 300 or more IDs, and 21 people made 1,000 or more IDs. |
Help with quality control
Can you help check these links below for any documentations that were a first for Illinois on iNaturalist in 2021? You'll often find species on here that are the result of computer vision errors as well as observations that should be marked captive/cultivated. Fixing these helps sort the wheat from the chaff and keeps range maps representative of wild organisms. Many thanks to all who help with quality control!!

Tagging IDers who made 100+ IDs on 2021 Illinois plant observations. Can you help with the identify links above?
Please send me a message if you would prefer not to be tagged in posts like this!

So, the concept is that you want the listed species checked for Illinois? And any 2021 unidentified Illinois plants we can?
heck yeah
@bouteloua : what is it about?
@t_e_d here's a little background on our project: https://illinoisplants.org/illinois-botanists-big-year (it's basically just iNatting - but one way to gather Illinois plant people in a group / friendly competition)
@bouteloua : I am not from Illinois, but I can check ID of Convolvulaceae. Just 2021 ? or also before ?
@t_e_d yes the deadline in a few days is only for observations in 2021.
I don’t understand
@maryah this year in Illinois we had an iNaturalist competition to see who could rack up the most observations and the most species within the state. You were tagged because you helped identify several plants in Illinois in 2021 and we are asking for your help confirming more identifications before the project closes in a few days
generally speaking I would be more than happy, rn I am sitting on 3.7k notifications and whittling those down is gonna take foreverr
The only species on the list that I could have an opinion is V. phlomoides (orange mullein). Since it can be confused with V. thapsus (Great Mullein) I don’t think I can prove that it is not present in Illinois.
I just took a look at Verbascum that did not reach research grade and did not see any flowering V. phlomoides (orange mullein). Checking every research grade V. thapsus is not feasible for me right now.
thanks for checking @elschongar!
@trh_blue yeah honestly I massively regret using that coarse ID swiper app years ago even though I only made a few hundred or low thousands of IDs with it, way too many notifications 😳
well I have all the ones from the IDathon plus a few weeks extra P:
I've done what I can with your list of Poales. Do you want me to send you the spreadsheet with my comments? If so, do you have an e-mail or how do I send them? I have added ID's when I can.
nice! awesome to see this focused effort from so many. I appreciate it.
and I don't need a spreadsheet (at least I don't think I do??). do you always use a separate spreadsheet when IDing?
@sedgequeen : you can write your comments directly on the observations with your IDs, so that everybody can have them. :-)
No, I don't usually record my identifications. I made the spreadsheet to guide my work, and I put comments on it. You don't need it. I put identifications or comments on some of the species and sometimes just left them, because I think they're OK but can't tell. For about half the Poales, I have nothing to say. No knowledge.
I'm checking the newly-found spurges, least I can do. The E. dulcis could be cultivated, and I'm less familiar with E. spathulata, but it all checks out.
@sedgequeen - understood! thank you
@bouteloua I've IDed a few observations to Research Grade, but they're not appearing on the project's opening page under Recent Observations. Is that because it's now 2022?...or?
For the "competitive" part of the Illinois Botanists Big Year and to display in this project, the observer needs to have joined the project. But in the wrap-ups I also like to share the overall activity/species found type stats for the entire state regardless of who has chosen to "compete" since that's how we've done it in the past.
Hmmm. I was, most recently, going through your ID link for observations from those who had joined the project; those observations that I IDed to Research Grade from that pool, however, are not showing up on Recent Observations list. I may be misunderstanding you...
Aha. I think that might be because the recent observations section is based on date-observation-created and not date-became-research-grade.
