Dichotomous Key Lab Yoked

This document presents a yoked dichotomous key that can be used to identify plant species. It provides a series of paired statements that allows the user to choose one of two options at each step to progressively narrow down the possibilities until reaching an identified plant species. The key differentiates plants based on characteristics like stem habit, leaf attachment, flower arrangement, plant habit, leaf arrangement, venation, root type, leaf shape, inflorescence type, and fruit type.
