Suggested format for a dichotmous key. Keen to get feedback or further suggestions --Danielbh 03:18, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Dichotomous Key

1. Young branchlets with an indumentum of stellate hairs G. lotoides

1. Young branchlets glabrous or with simple hairs;

2. Flowers sessile, single and axillary; stamens 2 G. sessiliflorus

2. Flowers all or mostly on distinct pedicels and normally several in an inflorescence; stamens 3 or more;

3. Stamens 3–5; perianth segments 3–4.5 mm long G. oppositifolius

3. Stamens 15–20; perianth segments 6–7 mm long G. orygioides

The wiki way would be:

• Young branchlets with an indumentum of stellate hairs G. lotoides
• Young branchlets glabrous or with simple hairs;
  • Flowers sessile, single and axillary; stamens 2 G. sessiliflorus
  • Flowers all or mostly on distinct pedicels and normally several in an inflorescence; stamens 3 or more;
    • Stamens 3–5; perianth segments 3–4.5 mm long G. oppositifolius
    • Stamens 15–20; perianth segments 6–7 mm long G. orygioides
      

Out of scope.
