Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Description
When walking through Howarth park, I noticed some plant that brushed against my leg. It kinda tickled as it did, from the thin little flimsy spikes that stood out from the blossom. The soild was made up of dirt, dried leaves and sticks, and it was a nice warm day outside. Other plants laid around this one, so I guess it had some competition for water.
it seems a bit too upright with too many awns per head for bromus madritensis, though that is a really good guess. I think it is a hordeum, maybe H. murinum but I'm not sure.
Thanks for the help. You are probably right. I just looked it up, and found the one that came closest to what plant I had. But you are right that it does look like Hordeum.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

Grasses are tricky and brooms madritensis was a good guess
