• Question

  I photographed Fuller’s Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) on August 6th in a vacant lot in Kittery Township, York County, Maine. The identification was confirmed by a botanist with the Maine Natural Areas Program. However, this species is not currently recorded from Maine in Go Botany (nor the USDA PLANTS database). Can this record be added? I can provide more information, including a photo.
