General Guidelines
If a child or a pet, or anyone has ingested or come into contact with a plant that you are worried may be harmful, then please immediately contact the appropriate health care professional (doctor, veterinarian) before posting. I cannot stress this enough. Time is of the essence for all poisoning cases, and waiting here for an ID can be harmful or even fatal. Please feel free to post an ID request here after contacting a health care professional though.
Do not ingest a plant based on information provided in this subreddit. For your safety we recommend not ingesting any plant material even if advised that it's edible here. Although there are many professionals helping with identification, we are not always correct, and ingesting plants can be harmful or fatal if a false ID is made.
Only downvote incorrect ID's as a last resort Downvotes should be reserved for inappropriate comments, trolls, and other trash. Instead of downvoting an incorrect identification, consider commenting with an explanation about why the poster is wrong so that he or she may learn from the experience.
Please keep all posts, comments and other content G-Rated. This means no swearing, even casually. Posts with swearing are deleted by AutoModerator. No adult themes. Nothing that would be inappropriate for children. We would like this subreddit to be useful for school students and kids in general to learn about plants. Please don't try to circumvent the filters, it's for a good reason.
Any marketing, off-topic or general spam posts will be removed. Common sense, keep it about the plant ID here or your post will be removed. Any posts attempting to market or sell, even if related to ID, will be removed.
