question 9: Presence of dots (not raised scales) on stem


In this section, we must indicate whether the stem is covered by dots which are not raised. One just has to run the finger on the stem to make sure of that character. Caution: this is not to be mistaken with rough raised scales on the stem, which is the object of another section.
When in doubt choose "I don't know"

Examples:
           
The stem is covered here with red dots (zoom), select then for this case "yes"     The stem is here largely covered with reddish dots, select then for this case "yes"     The stem is here perfectly smooth and not dotted at all. Select then for this case "no"     The stem looks like being dotted in this case, but running the finger on it shows these are raised scales and not dots, select then for this case "no"
