About Plant Identification and Classification
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
Most of this page is flashcard decks, and they split into a few clear groups. Some are about ornamental and landscape plants, such as Unit 2 - Shrubs and Evergreens, which pairs Latin names with common ones like Boxwood and Carolina Allspice. Others focus on trees, such as Forestry, with sweetgum, black locust and red maple.
A third group covers crops, weeds and seeds. CROP ID lists carrot, crabgrass, dandelion and dent corn, while seed ID crop species covers bread wheat, canola, faba bean and linseed.
Where to start
- Begin with the two mind maps called Plant Identification to get an overview of how the topic fits together.
- Move to Leaf Characteristics and Plant Nomenclature - Week 2 for the vocabulary and naming basics.
- Pick a deck that matches your course, such as ferns, trees, crops or indoor plants.
Using quizzes and maps together
Quizzes help you test recall. Botanical Names asks you to fill in Latin names for plants such as Silver Banksia. Year 2 Tree ID - Common to Latin w/ H&S pairs common names, Latin names and sizes. AGN ID Quiz 1 asks which tree an image or needle shows.
Work through a flashcard deck first, then take a quiz on the same group of plants. Note what you missed and return to the map to see where it belongs.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Plant Science, Soils and Water strand of Agriculture and agronomy. It suits practical identification work, from lab spot tests to plant lists. School students may find the leaf and name decks useful too.
Choose one deck, try the matching quiz, then make your own set for the plants you keep forgetting.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with one of the two Plant Identification mind maps for an overview. Then try Leaf Characteristics for the terms used to describe plants. Once those feel familiar, move on to a species deck that matches your course, such as Forestry or CROP ID.
Which quizzes are on this page?
There are more than 8 quizzes. They include Botanical Names, AGN ID Quiz 1, AGN quiz 2, Plant ID Practice, two tropical identification tests and a herbaceous test. Some ask for Latin names, while others show an image and ask what it is.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so choose the sets that match your own course and plant list.
Do the resources cover crops and weeds as well as trees?
Yes. CROP ID lists crops and weeds such as carrot, cheat grass, dandelion and curly dock. Seed ID crop species covers seeds including wheat, canola and linseed. Other decks focus on trees, shrubs, ferns, indoor plants and woody perennials.
Who are these resources for?
They mainly suit university students and professional candidates who need to recognise and name plants. Teachers can use them as ready-made material for identification practice. Because they were made by different users, check that the plant list matches your own course.
What if my plant list is not here?
Try the decks with broader lists, such as Scientific names or Plant ID, in case your plants appear there. If they do not, you can make your own flashcards, quizzes or mind maps with a free account, which also saves your quiz scores.
