If you have a photograph of a plant but can't identify it using one of the Keys, just Upload your image on commons, and then include it on this page using the template described below.
How to do it:
- Upload your image
- Copy the following text and add it to the top of the list below: {{subst:bcp2|IMAGENAME}}, and replace "IMAGENAME" with the name of the file you uploaded (not including the "Image:" prefix).
- Save the page, and make sure to add it to your Watchlist!
- If you have more than one image, you can add up to four using {{subst:bcp2|IMAGENAME1|IMAGENAME2|IMAGENAME3|IMAGENAME4}}. More than one image may be helpful for those who are trying to help identify the plant.

It,s definitely a Mentha, but they do very often hybrids, so you can (almost) never know, exept you got a Flora of the region... --Wer?Du?! (talk) 21:17, 12 June 2012 (UTC) 01:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Definitely not C. speciosus; possibly a large-flowered Dutch hybrid (therefore a C. vernus cultivar) – and so out of focus one wonders why it was then uploaded to Commons (where it was then misidentified as a snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis???!!!)

, unknown flower request
Identification request 15:49 30 January 2008
Another shrub I have seen flowering in the park, has white flowers. The smell is intensive, when close to the nose. Every time there are two flowers in one brachyblast - so it looks a little bit like inflorescense. Four white juicy petals make firstly a corrola (cup) together after 0.5cm they are separate whith partly ping touch, when on the bag I can see pink line (venation). Each flower has 5 filaments much longer than corolas are. Anthers are covered by yellow polen grains and they look like the swing, becouse stamen is conected with anthers in the middle of their lenght. Calix is made by two petals in closter of two flowers. In the midle, there is a pistil with a long stile, not higher than filaments.--Juan 16:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Some people told me it could be Schizandra, but if I have a look on this picture and imagine flower diagram, I should say no: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Schisandra_sinensis_flower.jpg. --Juan 15:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Identification request 15:49 30 January 2008
Also no pic with my request - having no digital camera. I have seen flowering kind of Corylus - probably cultivated variety, which was having both male and female flowers on the same shrub. The inflorenceces are nearly two times bigger then inlor of Common Hazel. They are ping or something like that.--Juan 16:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Possibly a species of w:Alnus? Its catkins are pink when partially open (assuming you meant pink when you typed "ping"). --SB_Johnny | talk 12:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, I will have a look on leaves, because the design of the schrub and leaves looked like Corylus.--Juan 09:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Identification request 30 January 2008
Sorry, no pic (yet) but yesterday, I saw an extensive shrub/bush with leaves that looked vaguely like w:Holly (ie hard, dull-shiny, with spikes at several points around the leaf), which was flowering profusely in elongated clusters of small yellow flowers, and which gave off a powerful smell when I walked by. Any ideas? Cormaggio talk 13:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Possibly w:Mahonia? (Image:Mahonia_media_flowers.jpg) --SB_Johnny | talk 13:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think you might be right! Not sure which species though - perhaps Mahonia bealei.. Cormaggio talk 17:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- BCP/Mahonia bealei is generally the most commonly seen in the US, not sure about where you are. Bloom time sounds about right though, since it blooms in very early spring here in PA (I missed it last year, but will try to visit that garden to check this year). It also gets a lot larger than the other species. --SB_Johnny | talk 18:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
