Keys are a
widely used method for identifying plants. They vary in the way they are constructed.
Many keys are not particularly easy to use because of the words or terminology
used within them. The Acacia one, provided here, is no exception.
The Blackberry tool is a modern key using computer technology to overcome this terminology problem.
It is a more friendly interactive key where the user is able to choose between illustrations rather
than written statements. A number of these keys are now available, but mostly on CD-ROM.
One such key has been developed for the whole of Acacia in Australia, but it is not
accessible apart from by CD, and so the traditional "dichotomous key", is provided here.
