I contacted the Missouri Botanical Garden Press inquiring about that missing dichotomous key between the order and family level. I asked if it had been subsequently published. They did respond quickly: "Unfortunately a supplementary publication was never completed."
I believe it was way back in part 1 you were identifying different vegatation along the roadside. You pointed out Chicory. Further south than MO (like Louisiana) they add chicory to their coffee for an interesting (question mark) flavor. Nice series.
I thought I read long ago that chicory did not contain any caffeine. And by mixing it in with coffee it cut down on the caffeine per cup. I also bet it would stretch out the coffee supply a bit longer by doing that. There is one place I can go to get the definitive answers though..... Steyermark. It's your fault if an upcoming video, which I'm sure will have heavy Steyermark referencing, is titled "The Chicory".
@@DickeyLabs I thought a "tea" video would be upcoming, complete with the microscopic images of the varieties AND tea bags. Gruesome, I tell you. Gruesome.

Chigger flower!
I guess I need to check and see if anything is itching.

Nothing worse than a dichotomous key with a missing Order-to-Family section. Scandalous, simply scandalous.
I KNOW! You would think that with over 3500 pages they coulda added a few more to make it complete!
