    In this Plants Identification forum, we know you want an ID. No need to say that in your title. Use the space instead to distinguish your query from all the others.

    Give your title some descriptive words for your plant
    . Here are some noun suggestions: tree, flower, shrub, vine, fruit. Here are some modifier suggestions: tiny, tall, large, fragrant, spiny, yellow, in a swamp. Look at this thing you want identified and come up with a few words to describe it. Put them in the title.

    Reason: if everyone does this, you'll be able to see if someone just posted the same thing you want to know about, and you can get your answer right away. And if you are looking at a red flower, and the people looking for IDs for red flowers put that in their posting, you might be able to find those postings by doing a search.
