Any nominees for the prize of Most Useless Key Couplet Ever Published? Here's my choice:

Awns often deciduous .... Awns much more often deciduous ....

A botanist colleague of mine, Brian Speer, has provided this one, which I am passing on to the greater Internet community:

Seed cone generally torn apart by animals .... Seed cone not torn apart by animals ....

I rarely use keys and so have no couplets of my own to submit. Now if the prize was for Most Inane Character in a Cladistic Analysis, it would be another story. Any nominees in this category?
