HI Emily, I used your dichotomous key. As a disclaimer, I do find the keys to be confusing in general. I like that you identified which plant went with each description however I think that it may have caused some overlapping descriptions. In the first A’s the bark vs no thick bark could have possibly been bark, and then no bark, the way it is set up from my perspective seems like bark and no thick bark are referring to different plants, but with how Plant 1-4 are written out, those descriptors seem to be referring to one plant, specifically because of the meter vs less than a meter tall distinction. Ultimately I was a little confused as to that specific labeling technique, but your descriptions were lovely.
