Plant ID CD's wanted

[Richard McCourt]

Bioquest has a dicohtomous key to a limited series of plants embedded
within a hypercard program called "A trip to the forest" (or something
close to that title).  Students take species counts on a virtual census
of parts of a forest and have to identify the trees based on leaves,
trunk, and flower morphology.
