plant identification is a visual aid to help you recognize and
name the most common pasture grasses and legumes found in New Zealand,
and also a few of our most common cereal and forage crops. Brief
details of industry relevance are also included. A

| Getting
started - what you need to know |
| In
order to recognise different pasture grasses and clovers we most
often use colour, features of leaf shape and leaf texture, and seed-head
morphology. Although it may seem a little formal, it will actually
be easier to learn a few botanical terms in order to describe succintly
how to recognise particular grasses or clovers. For a quick summary
of these "diagnostic" features and the descriptive terms
used in this web-site, check out the following pages: |
