Biology Plant Key

brian1991 · 2010-05-14 07:54:29

I have one for fauna, but need one for flora: five plants and a simple key to help identify them. This is one of the experiments for Biology, and I can't find a key in our Edco Biology textbook. Thanks in advance, Brian

I've got five types of tree:
1. Ash
2. Hawthorn
3. Blackthorn elder
4. Holly
5. Willow

Would this work? Does anyone have a key for these? I can't believe our book doesn't have a key for five plants. The 2006 paper clearly asked for a key to describe five fauna. Dun dun dun.

You should see the marking scheme for when it was asked... you get full marks for "any reasonable attempt at key design"

It was asked in 2006 and doesn't show a diagram, but I'm guessing I could make one (e.g. lobbed leafs etc). Can anyone find a simple tree key diagram online? I've been unexpectedly let down so far today.
