Re: Book titles -Reply

A book that I've found very helpful (but doesn't have a key) is "Tallgrass
Prairie Wildflowers: a Fieldguide" by Doug Ladd and Frank Oberle.  It was
published jointly by Falcon Press and the Nature Conservancy in 1995.  It
gives a short description with the important characteristics along with a
nice color photograph of the flower.  There's a short introduction to
prairies and a basic guide to flower anatomy that I've found useful when
trying to ID some of the species.

Way back when I took Plant Biology 102 we were taught to use an 
identification key.  It was for trees and asked questions like: Are the 
leaves lobed?, Is the branching opposite or alternate?, etc.  Since then 
I have never seen an actual comprehensive key for trees or plants. 
Does 
anyone know if any prairie books out there that have this type of
identification?
