Euro+Med PlantBase ("the information resource for euro-mediterranean plant diversity") provides an on-line database and information system for the vascular plants of Europe and the Mediterranean region, against an up-to-date and critically evaluated consensus taxonomic core of the species concerned. After several years of planning, the project is now firmly underway. The first stage of the project (referred to as Phase One) has been financed for three years by the European Union under Framework V. This database is constantly expanded and improved. Already in 2009, EuroMed provides three of the largest families: Compositae (Asteraceae, sunflower family) Poaceae (Gramineae, grass family) Rosaceae (rose family); and the following smaller families: Alismataceae, Aponogetonaceae, Basellaceae, Butomaceae, Cabombaceae, Chenopodiaceae (only tribus Salicornieae), Corylaceae, Elatinaceae, Geraniaceae, Haloragaceae, Hippuridacae, Hydrocharitaceae Juncaginaceae Lemnaceae Lilaeaceae Myricaceae Najadaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Posidoniaceae, Potamogetonaceae, Proteaceae, Ruppiaceae, Scheuchzeriaceae, Sparganiaceae, Tetragoniaceae, Zannichelliaceae, Zosteraceae, Zygophyllaceae. Common names were not yet available in all languages. By April 2015 Euro+Med Plantbase provided access to 190 plant families, corresponding to ca. 95 % of the European flora of vascular plants. ...

The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) is a database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of all seed plants, ferns and fern allies. Its goal is to eliminate the need for repeated reference to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about plant names. The data are freely available and are gradually being standardized and checked. IPNI will be a dynamic resource, depending on direct contributions by all members of the botanical community. IPNI is the product of a collaboration between The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Harvard University Herbaria, and the Australian National Herbarium. ... [Information of the supplier]

This series of pages is a set of characterizations of all orders and families of extant angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms, i.e. all seed plants, as well as many clades grouping families and orders and some smaller clades, especially within larger families. They are designed to help in teaching seed plant phylogeny at a time when our knowledge of the major clades of seed plants and the relationships within and between them are still somewhat in a state of flux, even if much of the broad outline is becoming clear. Here I very largely follow the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification (APG 1999, 2003), although with one or two more orders and with a number of unplaced families in slightly more resolved positions in the tree - recent examples are Hydatellaceae, Perrottetia and Bhesa (Zhang & Simmons 2006). ...

The CP database is run by Rick Walker, and is one of the central sites for carnivorous plants on the web. At this site you can search for information on all the carnivorous plant species, and photographs are available for many. The database includes over 3000 entries giving an exhaustive nomenclatural synopsis of all Carnivorous Plants. The following genera are treated as being carnivorous here: Aldrovanda, Byblis, Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, Dionaea, Drosera, Drosophyllum, Genlisea, Heliamphora, Nepenthes, Pinguicula, Sarracenia, Triphyophyllum and Utricularia. There is a detailed description of tissue culture that should help enthusiasts. You will also find Danser's Nepenthes work in its entirety and a plant trading post. ... [Information of the supplier]
Flora Europaea Data Base contains data on the nomenclature of the vascular plants of Europe. The data provided here have been extracted from the digital version of the Flora Europaea, the full version of which is held in the PANDORA taxonomic data base system at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

The INA is a card file maintained by Paul Silva at the Herbarium of the University of California. It contains nearly 200,000 names of algae (in the broad sense). Most names are available only as images of the cards (...) which are available through indexes that are being made gradually, with the help of users. Indexes to many genera have been completed. The "Bibliographia Phycologica Universalis" (BPU) is a card file containing bibliographic references pertaining to algal taxonomy. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The second edition of the "Mansfeld-Verzeichnis , which is a standard source of information on cultivated plants, deals with c. 4.800 species (without ornamental and forestry plants). Now the third, enlarged edition of the book [HANELT, P. (Ed.), in prep.] is nearly finished. It will be published in English and will contain about 6.000 species of cultivated plants as well as many infraspecific taxa. Parallel to the book edition a database version available in the Internet is being developed. For this purpose the electronic text files of the submitted manuscripts are structured and converted into tables, so that they can be imported into a database. These tasks are part of the BIG project (BundesInformationssystem Genetische Ressourcen), which is funded by the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology). ...

SysTax is an integrated concept-based database system for storing biodiversity data. The SysTax database system comprises: A) concept-based botanical and zoological systematics - SysTax stores an unlimited number of "concepts" of a taxon regarding its systematic position and its synonyms; B) literature; C) Botanic Gardens, Herbaria, and Zoological Collections - SysTax holds the data of an unlimited number of gardens of other collections and provides all functions for e.g. seed exchange and loan; D) addresses; E) multimedia data (pictures, sound files and video sequences) - Multimedia data can be linked with collection items, taxa, and / or literature citations. ...
