Dichotomous Keys for CPs?

[Wayne Jenski]

I put this thread here because people post questions here regarding identification of plants. Does anyone know of dichotomous keys for CPs? These would be so useful . . . if they do not yet exist someone should make them . . .

The biggest problem with that is that there are so many hybrids, both in the Sarracenia and Nepenthes geni, and many of them all look alike, and the Sarracenia crosses can get incredibly complex. It would be a huge task for anyone to make, and to use.

Hmm . . . I don't doubt your points. Too bad though.

Hey, I see you are in MA . . . are you a member of the New England society? I wanted to go to that last meeting in CT, but it was a little too far way.
