Could someone please help me.
I'd like to find someplace (preferably in or near
New Jersey) I could go to get some plants of mine
authoritatively identified.

On the flip side, how authoritative is reasonable
to expect?
For example, the differences between genera are
probably easily observed, but species may be much
closer and cultivars and hybrids even more so.

Other questions come right to mind.
Would I need specialists, e.g. for roses, cacti, etc.
Must it be done in person?  by mail?
Such a service could be of great use to those in
agriculture, is it regarded as a waste on houseplants?
(Doesn't matter I'm compulsive about these things.)
