Assignment
•Draw and label species provided in lab
•Make sure to label those morphological features that helped
you identify the sample (the characters in the key)
•Identify & label all samples to family and genus
•For Practice: use A Utah Flora to identify & label all samples to
species (other than any we determined in class together)
