Is it worthwhile actually trying to identify the plants in the VM?

David,
Since no-one else has added, may I say that I think it is worthwhile *after* you are confident that you know the sort of images you're dealing with. We can identify a carnation whether it is drawn as a photo-likeness botanical drawing, or an the work of an impressionist painter, or the highly ornate and stylised version used in Persian pottery, and again the artificial hybrid which might be used as an Indian textile design. But if you only knew the photo-likeness sort of drawing, most of the others would leave you bewildered.

That failure to re-think assumptions about presentation is the 'elephant in the room' for the botanical section. IMO
