Australia's Virtual Herbarium (AVH) is an online resource that provides immediate access to the wealth of plant specimen data held by Australian herbaria. AVH is a collaborative project of the Commonwealth, state and territory herbaria, under the auspices of the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH). Herbarium specimens are accompanied by information on where and when they were collected, by whom, their current identification, and information on habitat and associated species. So far, over 80 per cent of the specimens housed in Australian herbaria have been databased. This data forms a valuable resource for a wide range of stakeholders. The combined specimen data from each herbarium's collection provides the most complete picture of the distribution of Australia's flora to date. AVH is a dynamic resource. New specimen records are added as herbaria continue to database their ever-growing collections, and existing records are updated to reflect name changes and data validation work. ...

The eucalypts (the genera Angophora, Corymbia and Eucalyptus) are a botanical phenomenon unique to the Autralian continent. Nowhere else in the world does a single genus of trees dominate the vegetation of an entire continent, and nowhere else does a single genus adapt and diversify into the totality of habitats as seen across the wide diversity of the Australian countryside. This adaptation has given us a bewildering diversity of species, with over 800 at last count (and still counting!) The Eucalink pages offer a botanical tour of this diversity, from a scientific position and also from the cultural perspective, from a society that has grown up with and among these unique trees. On these pages, you will find an introduction to the eucalypts of New South Wales, with descriptions of the species, notes on distribution, ecology, images, maps and identification keys. Navigate to a searchable index of the species (with hyperlinks) by clicking on The Species button. Other buttons are self-explanatory, and provide gateways to different ways of approaching the site. While this site is focussed primarily on the eucalypts of New South Wales, some coverage is offered of the overall eucalypt group across Australia and even outside the country. ...

This website contains a checklist of the described species of millipedes native to Australia. It is a resource for taxonomists, not an identification guide. It does not contain identification keys or pictures. There are more than 400 native species in this checklist. Under each genus and species name there are all the works that might be recommendable to read. This website has as well an interactive maps page for species distributions. ...
