Plants are identified based on habit(tree,shrub,climber,herb),leaf type,venation,Phyllotaxy, Inflorescence,flower characters( Actnomorphic, Zygomorphic, number of stamens,sex of flowers, superior ovary, inferior ovary,fruit type, Seeds character. All these features are applied in identification. Regional flora publications will guide in identification along with distribution range of a taxon(plant/species)
