Thanks!

    So, I’m a filthy cheat and used PlantNet. It suggests, with a fairly high degree of certainty, that this is Arabian Starflower, which is a cool name.

      Amazing. That appears to be spot on! I was using Obsidentify and that one didn’t have a clue. And yes, very cool name indeed.

        Glad to have helped! I’ve been consistently amazed by this app, it’s really hard to catch it out. I tried really hard walking around an old stately home belonging to an Edwardian plant-hunter, tried it on all kinds of obscure plants and trees from Asia, the Americas and all over. I can’t remember it truly failing. I think it’s backed by a quite lively community of plant nerds - if something really is unusual, the community looks at the photos, and tries to solve it, and then that in turn teaches the app. It’s a great system.

      Wow, those two options look damn near identical to me. I wonder what makes it over 70% confident it’s one and only 9% confident it’s the other.
