This seems a little like a school project, which we generally only help by pointing you to resources (as opposed to answering the questions for you) - correct me if I'm wrong, though. My suggestion is to check out some books from your local library. Look for Trees in Britain, Europe and North America or Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs
Ive removed my posts because ...youre right I should not have asked for help. I thought it was harmless because I have tried everything else(including D.key) but I guess Ill just have to take the grade I get.
There's something specific you are supposed to be learning from this exercise, maybe how to use dichotomous keys. What did the teacher talk about that led up to this portion of the course?
Well, the good thing about whatever key you might have supplied to you is that all of the plants in your assignment should be solvable via the key. The trouble with supplying you with other ID keys is that some of the plants may not be in the key, leading you to wrong answers (a vexing problem for any key user). Keeping that in mind, here are a couple sites you can use to double-check a few of the above plants, once you figure them out with whatever key you have: http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/tree-key/compound-leaf-trees.htm http://ohioline.osu.edu/b899/index.html
The key we were supplied with only has about 20 trees.Thankyou very much for your help and the sites.. I better get back to trying to do this
Sure thing, once your assignment's been submitted! It really wouldn't be fair to the other students any other way.
