Named plant examples (R2101 + R2102) Flashcards

Plant examples for all requirements in the R2101 and R2102 exam syllabus. The syllabus may require (as an example) 2 examples of your choice for air bourne seed dispersal plants, in these cases I have broken this down further to the types of dispersal for easy rememberance so will appear on DIFFERENT flash cards. I will have added reverse cards that contain all information for plants that can be used as examples multiple times.
