Botanical notes describe the shapes, textures and seasonal changes visible in plants.
Botanical notes describe the shapes, textures and seasonal changes visible in plants. Leaf arrangement is a useful feature to record. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
Flowers and fruits may appear at different times of year. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.
Illustrative reference data, not live measurements.
The next pass through botanical observations focuses on comparison. A sketch can preserve details that are easy to overlook. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.
