He aha tēnei rākau? Taumata 4 (Word 2007, 1 MB)
Print life size photos of the leaves in the Word document and try to find out their names using the interactive identification key from ‘ What is this tree?’
Is it difficult to find out their names? That is because these leaves are not included in this key. If you click on each leaf you will find out the names of these trees.
You will need to write your own identification key for these leaves. Your identification key will use YES/ NO questions. When you have completed this, print off the pictures of the leaves and ask a friend if they can find out the name of the leaf using your key.
