Abstract: There are over 1780 plant families in Somaliland, but almost half the genera and slightly over over half the species belong to the top ten families. This checklist of the genera in the top 10 families was developed to help students learn to recognize the families. If using in the flashcard quiz mode, students should also seek to identify the morphological features that aid in recognizing the family of the plant being displayed. It is a trial to see whether the checklist function can be used in this way.
