Winter keys to common, wetland, trees, shrubs, and woody vines of the North Carolina Coastal Plain

Bracketed, illustrated keys based on winter twig and leaf features are presented for common woody, wetland plant species of the North Carolina Coastal Plain. These keys will also provide identifications for many Piedmont wetland species. Eighty-two species and eighteen species groups (two or more species that cannot be reliably distinguished using winter features) can be identified with these keys. Winter descriptions of each taxon are also presented.
