This Lucid3 key is for the identification of 150 pest plant species banned from sale, propagation, and distribution within New Zealand. For comparison, the key also includes some 150 similar and related species.
The NPPA key is illustrated with more than 5000 images and runs using 47 characters and 212 character-states. There are hyperlinks at the species level to related websites: MAF Biosecurity New Zealand, Ngā Tipu o Aotearoa – New Zealand Plants databases, and Weedbusters New Zealand.
The TFBIS (Terrestrial & Freshwater Biodiversity Information System) Programme fully funded this project.
