Field Identification of some Forest Plants-a Punch Card Approach

Abstract

Identification of plants is sine qua non of any study connected with botany and its allied subjects. An attempt has been made to simplify this ostensibly difficult topic, through a mechanical sorting of punched card. The needle-sorted-puncbed-card-set procedure presented here is simple and interest evoking. It aims at identification of Important species of an area without acquiring an expertise in botany, especially systematic botany.
