Campus Herb Field Guide Draft

Not a poster. A field guide entry, with the conventions that make field guides usable.

Identification features first, then similar species and how to tell them apart, then use, then cautions. That order is the standard and it exists because it matches how someone in the field actually needs the information.

The page has the entry template, an annotated example, and an editing checklist. The similar species section is the hard one and the most valuable, because it requires knowing what a plant is not. Children who complete it properly know their plant far better than the drawing alone would suggest.
