In arboreta, for example, there are often smaller, galvanized tags
fastened to a tree with wire, and documenting the genus, species &
cultivar of that individual. I would prefer to use the exact common
term for this device, if there is one (anybody know?), but above I
was referring to the more decorative, `public' version which can
be metal or plastic, and which if installed incorrectly is injurious
to the tree. This tree-tag would have the `species binomial', plus
the common name for the tree: Quercus alba / White Oak / Md. State Tree.
