The tested list — Latin names, families, zones, field traits — turned into something you can actually study from.

The deck

What's on every card.

  • Common name and Latin name together — the exam asks for both, so the card never gives you one without the other.
  • Family and USDA hardiness zone.
  • The diagnostic field traits — what actually separates the plant from the one it gets confused with.
