‘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]
Our goal is to provide a flexible query tool to access information on Hawaiian vascular plants from a taxonomic or geographical perspective at a variety of levels of detail. Queries can result in a simple checklist with island distribution to information on names, types, identifying characteristics, and images (illustrations and photographs). Currently, the available databases can supply checklists of Hawaiian flora and type information for names based on Hawaiian collections. The present checklist database consists of 151 families, 777 genera, and 2,325 taxa of flowering plants and 27 families, 72 genera, and 214 taxa of ferns and related groups. ...

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. ...

This site documents primary data about plants and fungi from the Hengduan Mountains and adjacent areas of south-central China, including the Gaoligong Mountains and Tibetan Himalaya. The mountains of south-central China, a dramatic and species-rich series of longitudinal ranges extending southeast of the Tibetan Plateau, are widely regarded as a global biodiversity hotspot. Primary sources of data are georeferenced collections from recent expeditions (1984-present) funded by a variety of sources. Browse or search for specimens in the database. ...

The area of the Alpes Maritimes in the sense of this resource encompasses not only the Ligurian Alps as far as the line Albegna – the Tanaro valley to the east, but also the French part up to the Esterel Massif in the west. The boundary also takes into account the botanist E. Burnat who, with some co-workers, carried out geobotanical research in this area for over 40 years and left behind a comprehensive body of work. The work shown here is more modest and makes no claim to completeness. It presents an attempt to give an overview of the flora of the Alpes Maritimes in the compact, synthetic form of a database enriched with photographs. ...

Welcome to the Digital Flora of the La Selva Biological Station, a reference to the vascular plants known from this field station. This electronic tool provides: checklists of the 148 plant families, 825 genera, and 1975 species found here, 17,000+ digital photographs of the living plants, 1700+ scanned reference specimens of species reported from the station, descriptions, diagnostic characters, and nomenclatural information for each species, information about habitat, phenology, pollination, natural history, and other aspects for these plants and other related information, including a glossary of botanical terminology used here and some botanical lists and maps for parts of the La Selva station. ...

The MBLWHOI Library Herbarium (SPWH), formerly the Marine Biological Laboratory Herbarium, documents the flora of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and adjacent islands. The collection, dating back to the 1850's, consists of approximately 7,000 vascular and 2,000 non-vascular plant specimens. The non-vascular collection consists primarily of marine algae of Cape Cod and the Islands. The Digital Herbarium is a fully searchable database of specimen images and data, serving as an online compendium of the marine, freshwater and terrestrial flora of Cape Cod and the Islands. ...
