Thread: Native plant identification

Dougie, my experience with photos for plant id is pretty much hit and miss. Often you need to combine characteristics of two or more parts (leaves, seeds, bark etc) to get positive id)

If you get a good leaf key that helps, but best option is to learn distinguishing characteristics and combine in into a mnemonic. Five finger = fine serration on leaves. I'll bring some good leaf keys along for the next hike.
