A. Coniferous-plant 1A1. Deciduous-B B. Alternate Leaf Arrangement-plant 2B1. Whorled Leaf Arrangement-C C. Linear Leaf Shape-plant 3C1. Oblong Leaf Shape-plant 4
A.Plant One: B. Needles with flat cross section–slightly rounded at the tip, green in colour–some brown spots. B1. Branchlets glabrous; cones. B2. Thick, cylindrical bole (trunk)–aereal stem of plant. B3. Perennial plant. A. Plant Two: C. Flower white in colour. C1. Rootstock stout; drooping. C2. Compound plants. C3. Nodes and …
A. Plant is a conifer …… Plant 1 B. Plant is Herbaceous Leaves are pubescent and elliptic…..Plant 4 2. Leaves are pubescent and linear a. flowers are white….Plant 2 b. flowers are purple….Plant 3
A. Woody – BA-1. Herbaceous – C B. Plant has needles – Plant #1 B-1. Plant does not have needles – C. Simple leaf – D C-1. Compound leaf – D. White petaled flowers – Plant #2 D-1. Violet petaled flowers – Plant #3 D-2. Yellow catkin – Plant #4
1a: Plant with cones……. Plant 1 1b: Plant without cones 2a Leaves lanceolate or narrow and pubescent 3a Leaves gathered near top of stem ….. Plant 3 3b Leaves more numerous near base of stem …. Plant 2 2b Leaves ovate and pubescent …. Plant 4
A. Plants with Needles…Plant 1 A.1 Plants with leaves…B B. Plants with complete flower…C B.1 Plants with pistillate and staminate flowers…Plant 4 C. Petals are white…Plant 2 C.1 Petals are purple…Plant 3 Plant One: Plant Two Plant Three: Plant Four:
A. Has flowers – B A’. No flowers – C B. White flowers – Plant 2 B’. Purple flowers – Plant 3 C. Monodelphous – Plant 4 C’. No Stamens – Plant 1 This dichotomous key is not applicable in other settings.
