For reference, simple leaves vs compound leaves
1

a. Leaves are needle or scale-like, go to 2.
b. Leaves are broad and flat, go to 14.

14

a. Leaves opposite, go to 15.
b. Leaves alternate, go to 25.

25

a. Leaves compound, go to 26.
b. Leaves simple, go to 36.

36

a. Leaves have lobes with or without teeth, or large rounded teeth appearing like a wavy margin, go to 37'.
b. Leaves do not have lobes or margins as above, and may or may not be toothed or spined, go to 53.

53

b. The leaf has one tooth at the end of each vein, go to 63.

63

a. Leaf less than 3 times long as wide, bark smooth and gray, brown buds up to 1 inch long, like pointed cigars – American Beech pg. 50.
