Woody Plants -Introduction

Miller Springs Nature Center due to its variety of habitats supports a many variaties of woody plants (Trees-Shrubs-Woody Vines). This site is designed to assist in the proper identification of Miller Springs woody plants. Due the the differences in devices (large and small screens), four different menus are provided with instructions to which is most compatable. Read the information below and make a choice. And then click the red choice name at the left . Eventually try all four options.

Choosing a Menu Type for Your Device

(A) Large Screen Pictoral choice supports devices (Laptops-Desktops) best by using dual frames and independatnt scrolling. The menu starts with pictures rather than scientific names making identification easier for non-botanist.
(B) Large Screen Taxonomic is similar to the Large Screen Pictoral except that the original menu is in text form listing giving the scientific names. This is best used by people having a botanical background.
(C) Small Screen Pictoral is best used when using a small mobile device. Being pictoral it better accomodates people without a strong botanical background. It supports only one frame at a time.
(D)Small Screen Taxonomic is best used with small mobile devices. It is similar to Small Screen Pictoral but uses a taxonomic listing (Family-Genus-Species)to to start the identification. And is best used by a botanist.
