This teplate depicts characteristics that are often useful in identifying plants. The template is given as a quick way to display information about plants and to enable quick comparison between them.

Usage

Copy the following code into the article you want to add a Plantbox to, then assign values to the parameters:

{{User:Emok/plantbox
