In classifying the trees into families I use the following scheme, which follows the order published on the internet by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (a group of botanists who in recent years have been attempting to classify all the families of flowering plants more exactly using DNA evidence). As far as getting to know the trees is concerned, however, it is best to begin with the most common trees, the brachystegias, acacias, bauhinias etc., which belong to the family Fabaceae. The names ending with -ales give the orders, those with -aceae give the families, and the last two names, e.g. Brachystegia spiciformis, give the genus and species. I have omitted those families which are not represented at the Academy.
