Simon drank a bit more of his drink and then he finally spoke. "I can't think of anything else." He sighed. "Can you think of anything?" He wanted to get the most ideas of everyone so that Kurumi could see that he did work hard sometimes.
Kurumi looked up and down their parchment, comparing and contrasting the list they had brainstormed as a class with what her and Simon had come up with. It seemed as though their ideas covered all the aspects they had covered as a class, so perhaps their ideas were enough? "We covered all the more practical ideas," she smiled turning her violet gaze back to Simon. "So we could either say we are done or try to come up with some unconventional ideas such as...hiring the aid of the Department of Environmental Protection to come." Which actually was entirely possible since her father's best mate worked there at the moment.

Giggling softly, Kurumi looked back at Simon. "Shall I add that to the list?"

Herbology III - Identifying Plants (pair activity)
Kurumi Hollingberry // Gryffindor // & Simon Leonarder De Simpson III // Hufflepuff //

What do we look at when we identify plants?

Leaf shape
  • Size – height, width etc.
  • Spikes, thorns, fangs etc.
  • Colour – plant, petals etc.
  • Movement
  • Reproductive structure
  • Flower shape – bell, plate, cup etc.

Plant properties
  • Nuts/berries – shape, size, colour etc.
  • Bark – colour, shape, texture etc.
  • Root System – size, colour, level of exposure etc.

Cautions
  • Biochemical secretions – oil, pus, sap, spores etc.
  • Stings
  • Poisons
  • Animals/insects
  • Bites – fangs and teeth
  • Grabby – vines, pincers etc.
  • Flammable
  • Explosive
  • Jumpy
  • Omnivorous

How to identify a plant without looking at its physical characteristics
  • taste the plant (only in tiny amounts)
  • feel the plant for its shape and texture
  • play music to the plant and see how it reacts
  • smell it
  • listen to the plant - how the wind blows through its leaves and what not
  • find someone who can identify it for you
  • check soil surrounding the plant
