  • Patent number: 4379372
    Abstract: A plant tag is provided for placement on a plant. The plant tag has a resilient tag portion with first and second holes formed therethrough. Guide notches are provided at exposed edges of the tag portion on either side of a scored line. Cuts extend from each of the first and second holes to a guide surface on the same side of the scored line. The tag is foldable about the scored line to align the first and second holes. The guide surfaces guide the tag onto the plant with the edges of the cuts being separated to permit the plant to pass through and into the first and second holes. The resilient tag unfolds to lock the tag on the plant and the cuts are nonaligned to form tabs to lock the tag to the plant by resisting simultaneous separation of the edges of the cuts.
