Presentation-wise, it would have been nice if you could have posed flowers from the two plants a bit more prominently – flowers are often how we identify plants, so they’re very important for your voucher. I take the the Matricaria wasn’t in bloom? I don’t think I’ve seen it flower this early in Anchorage, but I’m from Sand Lake so it might just be a locality issue. Looks like you got some seed pods for the Aqualegia – good job!!
Also, check the Rubric. You are missing an aspect of the scientific name. Your names are correct – they’re just missing something. Can you tell me what that is?
GOOD habitat details! I really like that you indicate the environment the plants were growing in. That can often be very important information to have (I’ve read 120 year old vouchers, and it’s often very interesting how different the locality habitat is today from when the plant was originally collected!).
Oooo, nicely pressed!
