Required, Very Painless, Field Trip

Instructions:
	Take a nature walk through the Missouri Botanical Garden and find 25 different plant species, each of which could be described by one of the 35 words/phrases below.  In the table below, write its common name, its scientific name, and the location where you found it (e.g., Climatron, Japanese Garden, etc.).  You will probably have to consult your text or a reference book for the scientific names of some species.  The glossary in your text will help you refresh your memory concerning some terms. 

Turn in the following on the last day of class (not before!):

(1) The completed table below.  PLEASE TYPE THE REQUIRED INFORMATION INTO THE BLANKS.  NO HANDWRITTEN COPIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.  Spelling counts, to please make the effort to spell accurately!

(2) A dated receipt verifying that you went to the Garden.  If you go with someone else and pay as a group, submit a photocopy of your receipt.  Identify the person(s) you went with.

Please be aware, each student must work independently.  No duplicate, or near duplicate papers will receive credit.

Also note that a given plant species can only be used once.
