Eclipta Herbal Urban Wild Herbal Memory Card Game

There are 36 cards total which highlight 18 different species of herbal medicinal plants that are commonly found within every city of the Northeastern U.S. Like most memory card games the object is to practice visual identification. This version focuses on learning leaf structure which is very important as many plants can seem ubiquitously similar. 1. Notice that there are many different shades of green on the spectrum. 2. Take note of flower color & shape, whether a plant has alternate or opposite leaves & if they have spiky, smooth or rounded edges. While each species has 2 cards, each pair includes 2 different drawings of the same species. This provides an additional challenge to the game & recognizes that when learning to identify plants you will be looking at many versions of the same species, each with subtle & sometimes not so subtle differences. Also included a booklet with information about the plants and directions for playing the game.
