Does Proper Plant Classification give accurate definitions?
20 kinds of plants were recorded based on the following criteria • Location;• General Habit;• Leaf Shape, Arrangement, Base and Apex;• Stem Type and Root System
Here are some of the leaf shapes that you need to know before proceeding to the flowchart
Plant 1Leaf shape: Oblanceolate
Plant 2 Leaf shape: Lanceolate
Plant 6Leaf shape: Elliptic
Plant 7:Leaf shape: Cordate
Plant 8Leaf shape: Ovate
Plant 9Leaf shape: Elliptic
Plant 10Leaf shape: Linear
Plant 12Leaf shape: Obovate
Plant 14Leaf shape: Peltate
Plant 15Leaf shape: Reniform
Plant 17Leaf shape: Lanceolate
Plant 19Leaf shape: Elliptic
Using the specified criteria, a flow chart was created to produce a more organized classification of the
plants to be identified
