What is the scientific name for slugs?

I can鈥檛 find any information on slugs. What are they? They leave slime trails allover my porch, and at night, they climb-up the side of my house.

What is the scientific name for slugs?
Slugs are gastropods like snails, and belong to phylum Mollusca along with clams, mussels, squids, octopi and other less known invertebrates.


The gastropods are asymmetrical and have a single shell that usually coils in a spiral, but slugs have a very reduced shell or lack it altogether.


Slugs are among the few terrestrial mollusks; they have a lung instead of gills like their aquatic relatives (the lung opening is lateral and the lung is within the "saddle-like" part of its dorsum). This is Limax, a common slug genus:

Here's a key to slugs of Florida (including some South American species). It has good drawings with labeled body parts:


http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/misc/flori...





In addition, there are also "sea slugs". These Gastropods have gills posteriorly on their dorsum, and swim and crawl rather gracefully. They are brightly colored and look like spectacular pieces of candy:


http://www.barrierreefaustralia.com/IMAG...


http://www.divernet.com/biolog/pics/0500...


(the cluster of projections at the back are the gills; the two anterior tentacles are sensory)
Reply:Kingdom: Animalia





Phylum: Mollusca





Class: Gastropoda





Subclass: Orthogastropoda





Superorder: Heterobranchia





Order: Pulmonata





Suborder: Stylommatophora








Slugs are gastropod molluscs without shells or with very small internal shells, in contrast to snails, which have a prominent coiled shell. The loss or reduction of the shell is a derived character, and the same basic body design has independently evolved several times, making slugs a polyphyletic group. Although they undergo torsion (180 degree twisting of internal organs) during development, their bodies are streamlined and worm-like, and so show little external evidence of it. Slugs include both marine and terrestrial species. The main group of marine or sea slugs are the nudibranchs. However, the ecological information in the article below applies mainly to land slugs.





The soft, slimy bodies of slugs are prone to desiccation, so land-living slugs are confined to moist environments.





Slug genitalia are also some of the most prodigious in the world. Ariolimax dolichophallus, a species of banana slug (from Greek dolicho-, long and Latin phallus, penis) has the largest penis-to-body length ratio of any animal. The record-holding specimen had a body length of 6 inches, with a phallus length of 32.5 inches, well over five times the body length.

The German Giant is a morph of Pogona Vitticeps, or the Inland Bearded Dragon, created by Pete Weis. They are larger than ordinary P.Vitticeps, have generally smaller heads ( in proportion to their bodies ), and the irises are more silvery-gold than ordinary P.Vitticeps.
Reply:German Giant Beardies aren't neccessarily from German areas. I believe that its just the person who discovered them that named them that. And the difference is that the GG Beardies have a bigger girth and are longer then other breeds of beardies.


What is the scientific name for those who can not resist the emotional pressure?

No longer used as a formal term in modern psychology, neurosis, also known as psychoneurosis or neurotic disorder, was a "catch all" term that referred to any mental imbalance that caused distress, but (unlike a psychosis or personality disorder) did not prevent rational thought or an individual's ability to function in daily life. As an illness, it represents a variety of psychiatric conditions in which emotional distress or unconscious conflict is expressed through various physical, physiological, and mental disturbances (as physical symptoms, anxieties, or phobias). These tendencies are usually very common among humans, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive/compulsive tendencies, and even personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, et al. It has perhaps been most simply defined as a "poor ability to adapt to one's environment, an inability to change one's life patterns, and the inability to develop a richer, more complex, more satisfying personality." (Boeree 2002)

Reply:There are several possible entities that can cause mood disorders. From far Anxiety disorders -15% population- panic disorders and agoraphobia are very frequent.





Anxiety disorders range in severity from common, mild phobias (eg, fear of insects, heights, or storms) to chronic, disabling conditions such as panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Anxiety diagnoses are made according to the specific symptomatic manifestation of each disorder. Post traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder are included in this group.





Anxiety is characterized by heightened arousal (ie, physical symptoms such as tension, tachycardia, tachypnea, tremor) accompanied by apprehension, fear, obsessions, or the like. Anxiety disorders are different from normal fears, although the symptoms can be similar. Generally speaking, normal fears represent emotional reactions to real, external threats, and the emotional response is appropriately related to the actual danger. In contrast, the symptoms of anxiety disorders occur either without obvious external threat or when the response to the threat is excessive. When an extreme or inappropriate fear or worry is present and is coupled with some degree of life impairment, the diagnosis of anxiety disorder should be considered.

what's fear of not being good enough?

What is the scientific name for the fear of not being good enough?
Sociophobia is NOT the fear of not being good enough in social situations... it's simply the fear of social situations.





Philosophically speaking, one can only "fear" an object that is outside of themselves (i.e., heights, closed spaces)- they are projections of more deep-seated anxieties. As such, the "fear of not being good enough" would not necessarily be classified as a phobia. Rather, it's likely more the result of a low sense of self-worth and low self-confidence.

What is the scientific name for Bacterial Meningitis?
bacterial meningitis is quite scientific.. but there are types, like "acute bacterial meningitis" or "meningococcal meningitis"..


if you could be more specific..
Reply:Meningococcal Meningitis
Reply:Meningococcal Meningitis
Reply:Acute bacterial meningitis is fulminant, often fatal pyogenic infection beginning in the meninges. Symptoms include headache, fever, and stiff neck. Without rapid treatment, obtundation and coma follow. Diagnosis is by CSF tests. Treatment requires antibiotics, often beginning empirically with a 3rd- or 4th-generation cephalosporin, vancomycin, and ampicillin; corticosteroids are usually given. Residual morbidity is common.


(Merck)





Meningococcal meningitis is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis (also known as meningococcus).





Pneumococcal meningitis is an inflammation or infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (also called pneumococcus).





Staphylococcal meningitis is an infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges), caused by Staphylococcus bacteria. Meningitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus or S. epidermidis usually develops as a complication of a surgical procedure, or as an infection spread by the blood from another site.





Tuberculous meningitis is an infection of the meninges (the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord). It is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.





Gram-negative meningitis is an infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges) caused by gram-negative bacteria (bacteria that turn pink when exposed to a special stain). Acute bacterial meningitis, which can be caused by gram-negative bacteria, is very serious and should be treated immediately to prevent permanent damage. Bacteria causing gram-negative meningitis include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Proteus morganii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Mononucleous, IS a scientific name. And, Epstein-Barr are the main viruses that causes it.





One of best medical advice sites is the Mayo Clinic, I've given you a link to it.





It sometimes is called the "kissing disease" (not scientific) because it is most often spread by saliva in the mouth. (that has Epstein-Barr in it)





But, it could be spread by forks, spoons, door knobs, anything the hands touch, as our hands often pick up bacteria and virus infections in saliva in the mouth.





Luckily, it's not a serious disease, it can be cured, and that info is available too, below:
Reply:Mononucleosis is the scientific name it is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus or the cytomegalovirus. Those 2 viruses usually result in Mononucleosis. hope that helps





Contrary to the info below me when stated "luckily it is not a serious disease" There have cases of deaths from it so any infectious disease untreated is somthing to worry about. usually reasulting in Death.

In Texas, the common name of Polliwog or Chucklehead Cat is sometimes used for either the Black Bullhead Catfish (Ameiurus melas) or the Yellow Bullhead (Ameiurus natalis).





These are native fish to Texas and much of North America, and aren't really considered pest species. They are not as desired by anglers as other catfish, like the flathead or channel cat, but they wouldn't be targeted as a nuisance species.





There are introduced exotic species in Texas that can cause problems in lakes and waterways, such as the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). These can cause considerable damage to native ecosystems.

Ferns, there are a lot of them. They are an order called Pteridophyta. They generally live in moist areas.
Reply:Pteridophytes. This is the actually name for a grouping of flowerless plants, which includes ferns, horsetails, club mosses, quillworts, and other similar plants.


Ferns proper are divided into in about 40 families and there are between 10,000 and 15,000 species of fern have been classified. The big difference in the numbers is due to botanists not being able to agree. Over the past hundred years or so there have been fourteen different classifications, so as you may guess there are plenty of names. Some examples of family names: Ophioglossaceae, Marattiaceae, Osmundaceae, Plagiogyraceae, Stromatopteridaceae, Gleicheniaceae, Cheiropleuriaceae, Dipteridaceae, Negripteridaceae, Loxsomataceae and Blechnaceae (try saying those before breakfast)





Where do they live? Almost everywhere but, in general, they prefer warm moist habitats.
Reply:There are many types of fern, they all have their own latin names. Dryopteris is one GENERAL latin name for a group some common varieties of ferns. Of course each variety has it's own specific name also, for example, Dryopteris remota. There are lots of other groups also. See the website below.





As for habitat, they love wooded areas, with lots of moisture.

Hemobart (Feline Hemobatonellosis or Feline Infectious Anemia) is caused by a microscopic parasite (Ricksettia or Hemobartonella Telis). This parasite likes red blood cells and attaches to them. The animal's system realizes the red blood cells have been altered and sends them to the spleen to be destroyed causing anemia which further compromises a FeLV+ cat's system. This organism has a tendency to come and go in the bloodstream. Therefore, several blood tests may be necessary to get a confirmed diagnosis.

Reply:It called "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" or "NPD"





I defined as:


"Narcissism is a term used to describe a focus on the self and self-admiration that is taken to an extreme. The word "narcissism" comes from a Greek myth in which a handsome young man named Narcissus sees his reflection in a pool of water and falls in love with it.





Narcissistic personality disorder is one of a group of conditions called dramatic personality disorders. People with these disorders have intense, unstable emotions and a distorted self-image. Narcissistic personality disorder is further characterized by an abnormal love of self, an exaggerated sense of superiority and importance, and a preoccupation with success and power. However, these attitudes and behaviors do not reflect true self-confidence. Instead, the attitudes conceal a deep sense of insecurity and a fragile self-esteem."

What is the significance of each day with respect to daylight, season, and scientific name, and common?

March 20-22








June 20-22














September 20-22





December 20-22








and since i can ask only 3 more questions today do you know the answer 2 this: as the suns heats up the earth which material heats up the fastest?

What is the significance of each day with respect to daylight, season, and scientific name, and common?
These are the equinoxes and solstices.





Equinoxes mean "equal" days and nights - these are when the sun crosses the equator on its yearly journey in our skies.


March 20-22 - vernal (or spring) equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator on its journey north in our skies.


September 20-22 - autumnal (or fall) equinox when the sun is directly over the equator as it heads south





Solstices are when the days and nigths are at their extremes.


June 20-22 - summer solstice, when the sun is at its farthest north and the northern hemisphere has its longest day and shortest night.


December 20-22 - winter solstice, when the sun is at its farthest south and the northern hemisphere has its longest night and shortest day.





When the sun heats the Earth, the darkest material heats fastest.


Bare soil, plants, cooled lava flows are all dark.
Reply:1...21 March=Spring (spring equinox=Greek werd for equal)


Start av spring. Dae %26amp; nite same length. Astronomers defind equinox as point weer plane av erth's orbit intersekt plane av equater.


2...21 June=start av summer %26amp; longest dae.


3. 21 Sep=fall equinox=start av fall


4. 21 Des=shortest dae=start av winter.
Reply:For the second one... The black, flat, permeable, non-reflective objects heat the fastest. Black absorbs heat, flat objects have the most surface area exposed, permeable objects will spread and store the heat, and as a rule, most objects that can reflect light can reflect heat.


What's the common and scientific name of this folowing plant?

it's flowers are lily like not fragant at all it's leaves grwo grass like extremely huge it can be divide it by "steam" separation (it does nt have steam at all) I don't know if it property of the plant but the flowers only last one day

What's the common and scientific name of this folowing plant?
Common name: Daylily.


Scientific name: Hemerocallis.





The daylilies comprise the small genus Hemerocallis of flowering plants in the family Hemerocallidaceae. Despite the name they are not true lilies (Lilium, Liliaceae). The name Hemerocallis is based on the Greek words for day and beauty, which reflects the fact that the individual flowers last for only one day. The flowers of most species open at sunrise and wither at sunset, to be replaced by another one (sometimes two or none) on the same stem the next day; some species are night-blooming. Because individual flowers are short-lived, they do not make good cut flowers for formal flower arranging although they otherwise make good cut flowers as new flowers will continue to open on cut stems over several days.





Originally from Eurasia, native from Europe to China, Korea, and Japan, their large showy flowers have made them popular worldwide, and there are over 60,000 registered named cultivars. Only a few cultivars are scented; some will rebloom later in the season, particularly if their developing seed pods are removed.





The alternating lanceolate leaves are grouped into fans (a clump also containing the roots and the crown). The crown of a daylily is the small white portion of the stem, between the leaves and the roots. This crown is an essential part of the fan. Along the scape, proliferations may form at nodes or in bracts. These proliferations form roots when planted and are the exact clones of the parent plant. Some daylilies show spindlelike widenings at the roots, used mostly for water storage.
Reply:it would be best if you take a picture.
Reply:It's not a day lilly because their blooms last a lot more than just one day.
Reply:It sounds like you have a day-lily (Hemerocallis fulva). They come in many shades of orange, yellow and reddish orange although new varieties are cropping up all the time. This is a very hardy plant, It's main requirement is at least half a day of sunlight for best growth. It will eventually form a clump which can be divided and plants put in a new location.
Reply:Dafodils possibly.
Reply:It could be a blackberry lily - it grows like a wide grass - as if it were pressed together and flattened....the flower curls as a bud and uncurls to a small lily with specks on it.


But more detail of this plant would be helpful... ie: full sun? height? blooms per branch or single stem? bulb or tuber or root? Is there a seed pod or cluster? Where do you live?(zone)


And yes, a picture would help.


It's hard to go by a small description if you truly want the right answer.

I have an irrational fear of bubbles. Does anybody know the scientific name for this phobia? Or ways to help?

I have an irrational fear of bubbles. I know this may sound crazy but I have issues with bubbles. Mainly bubbles like kids blow. I am ok until they get around my face or head and then I have a severe anxiety feeling to a point of not breathing.

I have an irrational fear of bubbles. Does anybody know the scientific name for this phobia? Or ways to help?
Hey, I actually know this one! Its called globophobia. A former coworker of mine had it. She saw a balloon pop when she was just a few months old. The unwarranted destruction of such beauty scarred her so much to this day that she cannot stand the sight of balloons. It works with other globes too.
Reply:Bubbles. To have a phobia about bubbles simply means you don't wahnt to be totally enclosed by one. Phobias can set a person on panic attack simply by having a fear. Sometimes a phobia can be traced back to "something " that happened a long time ago. On your birthday when little did a balloon "pop" in front of you? or, did you blow bubbles from a little jar only to find the wind was blowing them all back in your face?


Think it through. Try to write down several things you remember.


Putting down the memories, then ask yourself, How can I respond to my fears now ? according to my Faith, and my values? or just fall apart and react. Turn your written page into a prayer, and let God help you with these fears.


Also, the bubbles might represent lots of allergies you have, and it gives you "alarm" when the thought of allergies comes around.


Stare it straight in the face. Learn what it is. I love balloons, but now that I have LATEX ALLERGY I will not blow any balloons up any more. I kept getting sick every time I visited the children's birthday parties - and Grandma just could not breathe....Finally it dawned on me it was blowing up the balloons that made me sick.


So be on the watch. You have a mind. You can find out a lot of things if you look at it like a detective would.


bye now. Enjoy the winter weather.

Reply:Common name: American cockroach


Scientific name: Periplaneta americana Linnaeus


Order: Blattaria





Description: This is one of the largest common cockroaches in Texas, reaching 1-1/2 to 2 inches. They are reddish-brown in color. The shield portion behind the head (prothorax) has a margin of light brown or yellow.





Another similarly-sized, black-brown, common indoor species is the oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis Linnaeus, but it differs because the wings on adults are rudimentary on the female and only cover 75% of the abdomen of the male. Other cockroach species come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Most are dark brown with or without color patterns on the body. Occasionally, a whitish cockroach is observed incorrectly thought to be an "albino" form. These are, in fact, roaches that have just molted and have not yet had time to darken their "new" exoskeleton.





There is, however, a pale green cockroach species, the Cuban cockroach, Panchlora nivea (Linnaeus) (Blattodea:Blaberidae), that is occasionally encountered in the Houston area. Other common outdoor species include wood roaches, Parcoblatta spp. (Blatellidae) and the pale-bordered field cockroach, Pseudomops septentrionalis Hebard (Blattaria: Blattellidae).





Life Cycle: Simple metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult). Female cockroaches glue or drop 1/4 inch long bean-like egg capsules (oothecae) containing about 15 eggs on or around infested areas. Nymphs hatch from the egg case that resemble small grayish-brown adult cockroaches without fully developed wings. Nymphs molt 10 to 13 times in over a year (470 to 600 days, depending on temperature) before becoming adults.





Habitat, Food Source(s), Damage: This is generally an outdoor species, living in wood piles, decaying trees, palm trees and in sewer systems. Cockroaches have flattened bodies that allow them to enter homes through cracks around loose-fitting doors and windows, and where electric lines or pipes pass through walls. They are mainly active at night and hide in cracks and crevices during the day, preferring dark moist sites in attics and basements. Cockroaches eat almost anything including meats and grease, starchy foods, sweets, baked goods, leather, wallpaper paste, book bindings and sizing. Adults are capable of gliding flights.

I heard it was chamiliosium or something like that any help?

What is the scientific name for talking to yourself?
Hello, well, the spanish term is Solilogio, maybe you can check the translation and see if coincides with the word you wrote?
Reply:Only a true scientist who talks to himself knows it by its true name.
Reply:you talk to yourself and so does every living human. there is no medical term for thinking other than calling it a cognitive process, but thinking out loud may be what you are referring to and this is called THINKING OUT LOUD! Sometimes this pushes away boredom and loneliness, maybe we're only afraid to hear another THINKING OUT LOUD that we may hear what the person is thinking about us. Counselor WIU 66

What is the scientific name of an amoeba?

The more detailed your answer is, I'll make you the best answerer.

What is the scientific name of an amoeba?
The scientific name of an amoeba depends on the species!





"Amoeba" is actually a "genus" name... all organisms (exculding viruses, which aren't really living) are typically classified by a genus and species names.... some organisms get two species names or a strain name as well (typically bacteria have strain names) - humans are actually "Homo sapiens sapiens", so we have two species names!.





Now the tricky part.





Sometimes the term "amoeba" is used more generally, to describe "amoeboids", amoeba like organisms that are in the same family (Amoebidae) or even sometimes just to the phylum "amoebozoa".





IDepends really on if you want to be an anal retentive taxonomist how you approach the matter.





At the bottom is a few links to various sites that you might find useful. I got my answers from a bunch of my general biology and microbiology textbooks, as well as several years of accumulated university education... but like any good scientist you have to include some references. A good general one is "Campbell %26amp; Reece (2001). Biology (6th ed). Benjamin Cummings, California".... any edition will dthough, and there's probably one in your local library, high school library, and almost certainly one in your college library!





Amoeba can be free living or parasitic.. some can cause very nasty diseases!
Reply:Amoeba is a unicellular organism that moves using psedopodia and belongs to the genus protoza.





I have looked this up the web and apparently there is a family for amoeba called Amoebozoa.

What is the scientific name for ink? What is the magnestism of magnesium?

i need to know the scientific name for ink and whether if magesium (Mg) is magnetic or not?

What is the scientific name for ink? What is the magnestism of magnesium?
Ink does not have a scientific name or formula because it is a mixture and a variety of things.





Magnesium is not magnetic, The only metals showing magnetism are iron, cobalt and nickel. It has to do with electron spin and pairing of these electrons. Iron has 3 electrons not paired for their spin direction and is the most magnetic.
Reply:Magnesium is not magnetic...


What is the scientific name of our solar system? How far away is the next closest solar system? How long does?

it take a rocketship to get there? How are the other solar systems different from this one?

What is the scientific name of our solar system? How far away is the next closest solar system? How long does?
%26gt;What is the scientific name of our solar system?





It doesn't really have a scientific name in the same sense that species do. The Sun's scientific name is 'Sol', so most likely our star system would simply be called 'the Sol star system' and left at that.





%26gt;How far away is the next closest solar system?





The closest star to the Sun is about 4.2 light years away. It is called Proxima Centauri. It is orbiting very widely in a star system with I believe two other stars, so the center of that star system is actually closer to 4.3 light years away.





%26gt;How long does


%26gt;it take a rocketship to get there?





It depends how fast it's going! The Voyager 1 spacecraft, which is both the farthest known spacecraft from the Sun and the one with the fastest interstellar speed, is going at about 17.1 kilometers per second. If it retained this as a constant speed, it would be able to reach the center of the Alpha Centauri system in about 75400 years. A spacecraft moving very close to the speed of light would take roughly 4.3 years to get there, and a spacecraft moving at 10% the speed of light (a more realistic speed with foreseeable technology) would take about 43 years. The final speed of the ship really depends on how much reaction mass you can throw out the back and how fast you can throw it.





%26gt;How are the other solar systems different from this one?





In just about every way you can think of! Most stars are not yellow stars like the Sun, but rather red dwarf stars; there are also orange, white and blue-white stars, white dwarfs, red giants, neutron stars and black holes which can all serve as gravitational centers for star systems (whether or not any planets actually orbit them). Many star systems even have more than one stellar object. They can also be orbited by different types of planets, including not just rocky planets and 'cold' gas giants like our own, but also 'hot' gas giants. Some extrasolar gas giants are even more massive than Jupiter, and in fact scientists are still working on coming up with a clear distinction between large planets and small stars (there is a class of objects known as brown dwarfs that straddles the line inbetween). Although no star system has yet been verified to have more planets than our own does, detection of extrasolar planets is still a rather new field, and as our detection abilities increase it is quite probable that we will discover star systems with more planets than the Sun, most likely combinations of both gas giants and rocky planets.
Reply:The only name that I am aware of for our solar system is "the solar system." Since that includes a reference to our own sun (Sol) that is probably sufficient.





The nearest system is probably around the nearest star - which is Proxima Centauri - part of the Alpha Centauri system - about 4.2 light years away. With current technology, it would take a spacecraft thousands of years to get there.





We don't really know how other systems are different. Some certainly have hotter stars, many have double stars. Most of the remote planets that we have found so far are, by default, huge - because that's what we can see so far. That doesn't mean they are all like that.
Reply:Our solar system is called the Sol System. The reason is becasue that is the name we gave it, and there is no one from another system to name it anything else.





The next closest solar system is about 4.5 light years away - 26,435,651,184,000 -- about 26 TRILLION miles away. All other solar system are MUCH father away than this!





The fastest "rocket ship" that we have at this time are those that went to the moon in the 1970's. they traveled at about 25,000 miles an hour. At that rate it would take about 121,000 YEARS to get to the next closest solar system.





We don't know for sure about ANY other solar system. No one has ever seen a planet around another sun other than our own. Scientists THINK that there are other planets, but this is based on special calculations and "guesses". Other planets are too far away, and cannot be seen with a telescope, not even the Hubble.





The only thing we know about other "solar systems" is the type of sun they have. If our sun is "normal" then there are suns bigger than ours (giants) and there our suns smaller than our (dwarves). There are suns hotter than ours (blue suns) and suns cooler than ours (red suns).





BUT . . .we don't know for sure IF these other suns have planets or not. And we don't know what the planets would be like of the sun is larger or smaller, or hotter or colder. So we don't know if they have life on them or not.

Sorry I can't help.


There is a plethora of vines with heart shaped leaves


Schizophragma not this one
Reply:Here's some help:


1) use this link to help you answer and identify the particular attributes of the vine


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine





2) then use this source to identify the leaf by it's shape [see diagram about 1/2 way down the page on the right side; click to enlarge:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf





3) use the information that you've gathered and select the most important words for search terms at Google and/or Google Images


for example : spear leaf, woody vine, white flower





If you know what state or country the vine is located [photos that you provided] include that in your search term as well





I assume that you don't have/know the common name for the vine [if so try google]





You might also search for your local County Agricultural Extension and/or Botany Dept. at a local university and ask if you can email your picture link to them.
