For ease of identification, the plants in the field guide are arranged according to cotyledon shape, that is, the shape of the seed leaf – in the early seedling stage it is important to recognise the difference between the cotyledon and the true leaves. Diagrams showing the plant parts and the different shapes of leaves, cotyledons, apexes, bases and margins will help the user to correctly identify species.
