Using only the following four criteria
- colour of flower

- positioning of leaves
- type of leaf margin

They separate the species in a way that allows plant identification
directly
or with only a few subsequent steps
on the page number shown in the table. Similarly, the table shown here provides quick access
to over 70 of the 554 endemic species currently known to occur on the Canary Islands.

Tourist attractions are mostly visited because they do not exist anywhere else in the world.
In the Canary Islands, these are mainly plants. Of the more than 1,250 plant species found
on Tenerife, more than 300 are endemic to the Canary Islands, 110 only occur on Tenerife.
This small book allows quick and simple plant identification of all of these 1,250 plant
species. Using a single table shown already on the book cover this provides quick and
direct access to the page where an unknown plant can be identified with only a few
subsequent steps. In the ebook, a large number of hyperlinks permit this, too.
More than 450 colour photographs combined with short descriptions of all species
allow you to check your results and also provide information about locations, altitudes, and
flowering times where these plants can be found on the islands.
