This website delivers the latest authoritative information about the Western Australian flora in an accessible and interactive manner. Information is presented in a thematic way, so that users focused on particular components of the State’s flora, such as the conservation taxa or naturalised weeds can readily keep up to date. Users can also find information by browsing or searching the site to explore their own special interests. FloraBase provides botanical information on all Western Australian vascular plant families, genera and species as well as identification tools, photos, maps, a database of botanical literature and (for registered users) the collecting details of over 608,400 vouchered herbarium specimens from across the State. ...

FloraWeb is the online offering of the Federal Agency for Nature Protection (BfN) concerning wild plant species, plant communities, and the natural vegetation of Germany. At present the species selection is restricted to ferns and flowering plants (phanerogams), the extension to mosses (bryophytes) is planned. The entries come from current, actualised databases and projects of the BfN and its co-operating partners (see below) and thus are available to the public in their current form. Under the menu point “Plant species” ("Pflanzenarten") ca. 3500 species profiles with up to 55 individual items of information about taxonomy, biology, ecology, habitat, distribution, and inventory situation, endangerment and protection, as well as photos, can be accessed that are generated at the current time by means of dynamic accessing the underlying databases. The species descriptions can be accessed by name, by alphabetical name lists, or a systematic family tree. Information about distributions in Germany is available through dynamically prepared maps and the interactive GIS application FloraMap. In the sub-menu point “Properties” ("Suche nach Eigenschaften") all individual information items in searches can be freely combined. Again, the resulting species lists can be transferred to the map module FloraMap where one then has the possibility of displaying the spatial distribution of these groups of species in Germany. Under the menu point “Associations” ("Gesellschaften"), the likewise collected information about plant communities and their regional endangerment in Germany is stored in the profiles. These profiles of the vegetation units are extended through a database of phytosociological records under the name “VegetWeb”, which is to be continuously expanded. Under the menu point “Vegetation map” the units of the potential natural vegetation of Germany are displayed in profiles, with text explanations and photos, that will be expanded through the map display dynamically linked to the profiles. The data-offering thus defined in the area “Data service” will be expanded in “InformationsNetz” with explanations of the botanical connections and further information about the data sources. ...

The Index to American Botanical Literature provides bibliographic data both on books and articles in periodicals. "The searchable database includes all those entries published in the Index since 1996, and thus includes botanical literature appearing since late 1995. We have made minimal progress in retrospective cataloging, and will continue to add older literature as time and manpower are available. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The database deals with the flora of the British Isles, comprising Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), Ireland (Northern Ireland and Eire), the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. In total 3525 species, subspecies and varieties placed in 166 families are included. All vascular plants (pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms) are included, as is traditional in British Floras. The descriptions of all the taxa can be found in the Description field of the Species module. They are brief diagnoses providing what I consider to be the most important characters, and they have been made as consistent and comparable as possible. We are very proud and grateful to have received the cooperation from more than 100 photographers, professional and amateur, who kindly provided us with their slides to illustrate the taxa. ...

The literature database of the vegetation ecology of central Europe of the Braunschweig University Library is a current database in which scientific publications about the flora and vegetation of Central Europe are indexed. Until now, the focus has been on Germany; indexing of the relevant publications for Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and Slovenia is planned. The adjacent areas are also taken into consideration in the selection. Currently ca. 11000 publications have been indexed whereby the data are continually updated and expanded. A special feature of the database is that scientists who are active in this area can themselves enter records of their publications into the database via the World Wide Web. Their entries are stored directly in the database and are then immediately searchable worldwide. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
This library of over 15,000 photographic images of plant species and plant habitats is intended for public as well as professional use. The web images may be used as presented for non-commercial purposes only, with appropriate attribution (see 'Detailed Instructions' section). Higher resolution, unprocessed electronic images are available by submitting your 'Wish List' to the image custodian. ... [Information of the supplier]
VegBank is the vegetation plot database of the Ecological Society of America's Panel on Vegetation Classification. VegBank consists of three linked databases that contain (1) the actual plot records, (2) vegetation types recognized in the U.S. National Vegetation Classification and other vegetation types submitted by users, and (3) all plant taxa recognized by ITIS/USDA as well as all other plant taxa recorded in plot records. Vegetation records, community types and plant taxa may be submitted to VegBank and may be subsequently searched, viewed, annotated, revised, interpreted, downloaded, and cited. ...

This Checklist gives information on the accepted scientific names and synonyms of selected plant families (including 150 Seed Plant families). The main focus of the checklist is to provide the state of current knowledge on a family rather than revising a family, a task that is being undertaken by the Species Plantarum programme. Included is also associated data like author, place of publication, full synonymy, geographical distribution and life form. The two main research elements are the name and the distribution, both of which can be used to create individually tailored checklists. Different families are in different stages of review as indicated in the family list. ... [Information of the supplier]
Lomaflor is a database of plant collection records for coastal Peru and northern Chile from communities termed lomas formations. The database is specimen-oriented and contains nearly 9000 records representing ferns [PTE], gymnosperms [GYM], monocotyledons [MON] and dicotyledons [DIC]. Currently, LOMAFLOR may be searched by FAMILY, GENUS, COLLECTOR, SPECIES or HERBARIUM using the form above. Access to individual record citations is available by clicking on record number. ...
