In this introductory video to identifying plants, Joey Santore of the Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't Youtube channel and podcast provides an entertaining overview on how to identify flowering plants, or angiosperms. Self described as "a low-brow, crass approach to plant ecology and evolution as muttered by a misanthropic Chicago Italian, Santore uses 'colorful' language and humor to describe the process of identifying flowering plants.
This video and others from the channel are a great resource for students who may feel overwhelmed with the more granular vocabulary of botany. References used for the videos are included in the description and additional content can be found on the Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't website.
