An example of the details of keying out Ardisia brevipedata.:
From: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/137206893 .

Primulaceae plant family (formerly Myrsinaceae)
• Not Myrsine spp. nor Tapeinosperma spp. nor Tetrardisia spp., etc.
• On foliage and inflorescences obviously not Ardisia crenata nor A. elliptica (invasive weeds).
• Leaves not "distichous or 2-ranked" —SE. Qld – Tweed region NE. NSW Ardisia bakeri C.T.White.
• Leaves flat-ish margins (not recurved nor revolute) —hence not A. pachyrrhachis (F.Muell.) F.M.Bailey.
• Inflorescences racemes or raceme–like —hence not Ardisia fasciculata C.T.White (nor Christ. Island Ardisia sanguinolenta Wall. ex Blume).
• Inflorescences with more than 8 flowers each —hence not Ardisia hylandii Jackes.

Argumentum ad verucundiam and argumentum ad auctoritate
– not agreeing nor disagreeing with so called authority figures because we do not have that fallacious mode of thinking.

Every body actually learning first hand, with free choice given to each of us all, and hence each our own authority figure.
