The Mule in four moves

Identify a Carex by describing what you see.

This is not a traditional choose-left-or-right key. You add observations in any useful order. The Mule removes taxa that conflict, keeps uncertainty honest, and carries the result toward a field voucher.

1

Place

Choose the country and exact state, province, or territory.

2

Describe

Answer only characters you can see or measure. Leave the rest for later.

3

Compare

Watch the candidate count fall, reveal names, and compare the final slate.

4

Record

Open the voucher and preserve the determination instead of forcing a guess.

Nothing is permanent. Every observation can be removed, undone, deferred, or reset.
