Identification Status Summer 2022 - Proteaceae

As of end of November we have for the Proteaceae of southern Africa:

• 87,000 observations for 508 species, subspecies and hybrids.

These comprise:
• 87.8% Research Grade
• 7.0% Needs ID
• 5.2% Casual (planted or missing media).

Needs ID comprise the following categories:

• 65 observations that are only identified to family. These are mostly due to conflicts in identification. Please see if you can help resolve these:

• 1,107 observations identified only to generic level. There should be none in this category, so please see if you can help push them to research grade.

• 3,900 observations have already been identified to species, but just need to be pushed to Research Grade. Please see if you can help here:

RESCUING LOST OBSERVATIONS

Artificial Intelligence to our assistance.
@jeanphilippeb, - who has earned our undying gratitude: many thanks!!!!! has been playing at finding lost observations that have never been identified - https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/jeanphilippeb/73398-draft-for-creating-projects-for-unknown-observations
(it would be nice if he could also go through Plants and Dicots), and assigning observations as Proteaceae (and trees) which is great for us.
These observations can be found here:
