Many a times, Plant Ecologists have to click photos of plant specimens. There are other plants in the vicinity which may create confusion while identifying this one. In such a case, it is better to place a board or a thick paper behind the specimen to be recorded. As the plants are mostly of green color, what color should be the background paper such that the specimen is clearly seen. Should it be of dark color like black, maroon, dark blue, etc. or should it be light colored like white, cream, pastel colors?
