I won't start a diatribe on plant keys, but last week, we were keying
out a calylophus from Texas. Using three different floras from Texas,
we were sent to three different species. All three keys were
completely contradictory on a genus as small as calylophus. Surely,
we can turn out better taxonomists than that!
