Matching Plant Images Internally

[Mark Knowles]

I will go through and add my scores. I don't think I will give any zero as if I were to have, then I would not have included them to start with; however there are certainly some that I would give less than 3.

It is noticeable that in some cases there is much less to compare, such as when there is only a drawing of a leaf or only a drawing of a root. And of course I recognise that in some cases the leaf matches, but the root doesn't or vice versa. In the case of these partial matches the way that one interprets them may vary from person to person. Some might interpret them as a deliberate device by the author to mix the leaves and roots. I might be more inclined to put this down to author/artist error or carelessness/inattention to detail. Someone else might view this as representing a completely different plant.

I certainly would be intrigued to see others scorings.

And of course if anyone has a match to add that I have missed I would be very interested. I have tried to be very thorough and consider all possible matches, but it still remains conceivable that there is something that I haven't spotted.
