    Hi Juanita! Glad we can cross paths again in ethnobotany – I hope you’ve enjoyed this class as much as I have. I love the simplicity of your key, and the three-tier staggering of choices. I struggled quite a bit with describing plant 4, and you got there by elimination. It was mentioned to me that plant 2 is actually white sepals, not petals, but I did the same thing. Overall, great work! I found your key very easy to use and identify each plant from the prompt.

    Oops, I checked my grade notes and that’s actually plant 3 — not 2. Still learning over here.

    Easy to understand and follow. Maybe add a little more detail? But really, it works and doesn’t complicate things. Good job!
