Misidentification of Trifolium observations in CA

The following charts show the number of observations for species within the genus Trifolium in California and the number of times the species has been misidentified in iNaturalist. The purpose of this analysis is to pinpoint species with high misidentification rates (to focus on correcting) and to provide a method of measuring improvements over time.

I split the species into two charts for clarity. The first chart lists the species with >1,000 observations (green). The second chart lists the species with between 500 and 999 observations (blue). Species with fewer than 500 observations were not charted. Misidentifications are in red. Misidentification data was obtained from the 'Taxa Info' page in iNaturalist under the 'Similar Species' tab. The data are further filtered to include only observations in California.
