Can anyone direct me to a good dichotomous key for plants?

I'm looking for something that deals with wildflowers and trees. They can be encased in more than one book. Any help will be appreciated.

    Try the Flora of North America (http://fna.huh.harvard.edu/families) They have online dichotomous keys for lots of families with more to come. There is a series of books that can be purchased, but they are quite pricey. The online key is free to use. Otherwise depending on the area you live in there is likely a book available on your area. Flora of the Pacific Northwest, Flora of the Great Plains. These books generally go off of floral characteristics.
