‘Botany in Pictures’ has set itself the aim of documenting the entire flora of Austria and the adjoining regions in pictures. In the meantime, our digital picture archive has grown to more than 30000 photos whereby we have been able to enlarge our own picture holding with numerous entries from other photo-botanists who have generously made their photos available to us. Thus, we can quickly expand ‘Botany in Pictures’ and continually show new pictures on the internet. Up to now, 1800 species have been documented in ‘Botany in Pictures’, with more than 2700 pictures. Many other pictures can be made available by request. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
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. ...

This database contains 1834 plant species which are, or were, present in the Karlsruhe administration district, and some neighbouring regions. About 1750 of them are illustrated; the pictures show various aspects of the plants (flowers, fruits, habit, etc.). In almost all cases these are digital photos that were specially made for the database from 2001 to 2005. Wherever possible pictures of regional populations in the Karlsruhe area were used. The first version of this database was published as a CD-ROM ("Die Pflanzenwelt des nördlichen Landkreises Karlsruhe", M. Hassler 2004) and can be obtained from Verlag Regionalkultur (Ubstadt-Weiher). ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]

Die Angaben zu den Pflanzenarten wurden ausgebaut. Neben dem bisherigen Verbreitungsatlas stehen Ihnen nun auch sämtliche Artbeschreibungen aus der Flora Helvetica zur Verfügung. Neben Arten können nun auch Lebensräume nach der Klassifikation von Delarze & Gonseth ("Lebensräume der Schweiz") abgefragt werden. Neben den Merkblättern Artenschutz, finden Sie auch Infoblätter zu den invasiven Neophyten der Schwarzen Liste und Watch-Liste. Für aktive Artenschützer spannend: Sie können nachschlagen, in welchen Kantonen zu welchen Arten Aktionspläne existieren oder Massnahmen am Laufen sind. ... [Information des Anbieters]
