| 10 | Reliable | Code for reliability of identification | 1=Species identification is confident but variety or subspecies identification is in doubt, 2=Species identification is confident but variety or subspecies is not distinguished even though varieties or subspecies occur in Minnesota, 3=Species identification is trivial because of hybridization among several recognized species but hybrid complexes are recognized within the genus, 4=Genus identification is confident but species identification is in doubt; 5=Genus identification is confident but species is not distinguished, 6=Genus identification is in doubt, 7=Plant is unknown but only one species is probably included | |
