Keys for the identification of families by selected morphological groups of the Cuban flora

The identification keys are the main tool for plant identification. However, the absence of a recent and up-to-date key to the botanical families present in Cuba greatly hinders the identification process by non-specialist researchers of the different groups. Here are seven keys for the identification of families of angiosperms of the flora of Cuba within selected morphological groups: terrestrial plants with compound and opposite leaves, plants with trifoliolate leaves, with translucent punctuation, with latex, climbing with tendrils, parasites and epiphytic angiosperms.
