Taxonomic key is one of the taxonomic tools in the identification and classification of plants and animals. It is used in the preparation of both monographs and flora.
Explanation:
- Flora contains the actual account of the habitat and distribution of plants in a given area. These provide the index to the plant species found in a particular area.
- Manuals are useful in providing information for the identification of names of species found in an area. Monographs contain information on any one taxon, i.e. any one genus or family at a particular time. They also help in correct identification.
