Can anyone recommend a good plant identification key for tropical plants?
I'm not a botanist, but I would like to get one for a friend who is, as a birthday present. I'm interested in something that covers Central America. Costa Rica would do, although Nicaragua would be preferrable, but I haven't found anything like that, and even if I did, I wouldn't know if it's worth getting.

Nice idea ... do you know any of your friend's botanical colleagues? I'd be inclined to ask them for a suggestion.
