Taxon details

Key traits are properties of the taxon, by which it can be found using the plant identification guide.

The list of key traits is not an accurate description of the properties of taxon!

In some cases lists may contain deliberately added traits which the plant actually does not possess, but which can be mistakenly noted during a cursory or insufficiently detailed examination of the sample. Such botanical "mistakes" make it easier for laymen to find plants.

If you are interested in a exact botanical description of a taxon, follow the links in the "Web resources" section, search the Internet, or take advantage of the specialized literature.
