Preferred Plant Interpretation and Name

Many views in VegBank show you names of plants that occurred on a plot. The Author of the plot had a name to identify the plant, and this can always be shown. The Author's name will always include any irregular species notation, most commonly something like "Carex sp." Each plant is interpreted, and you can choose either the original interpretation or the current interpretation, which links the plant to a Plant Concept. Each plant concept has many different names associated with it, and you can select one of these (Scientific, Common Name, Code, etc.) along with the Original or Current Interpretation.

Change plant label:
--Choose a value-- Author's plant name Original Interpretation, full Scientific Name Original Interpretation, Scientific Name without authors Original Interpretation, USDA Code Original Interpretation, Common Name Current Interpretation, full Scientific Name Current Interpretation, Scientific Name without authors Current Interpretation, USDA Code Current Interpretation, Common Name
Note: This picklist is shown on many views. Changing those picklists is the same as changing this one. VegBank continues showing the plant you selected until you select another.
