Hi, I would like to ask if it is possible to do plant identification. We need certification to make sure that the plant we will collect for our thesis really is Hedychium coronarium. If it is possible, I would also like to inquire about the process, if it can be done online or if we need to personally submit samples, and how long it would take. Thank you!
