Welcome to the digital flora of Panama. You may access the species list of common trees, shrubs and palms by species name, family, or by their common names in Panama. For each species, we have included a botanical description, photos, scans, drawings, and a distribution map which shows its presence or absence in a series of floristic inventories and plots established by the Center for Tropical Forest Science in the Panama Canal watershed. This is an ongoing project. ... [Information of the supplier]
Virginia Tech's Tree Fact Sheets provide concise information on approximately 800 tree species of North America. Fact sheets (with morphological descriptions and photographs) are printable on one sheet of paper. [Editorial staff vifabio]

The InsideWood project integrates wood anatomical information from the literature and original observations into an internet-accessible database useful for research and teaching. The InsideWood database contains brief descriptions of woody dicots (hardwoods) from more than 200 plant families, and is searchable by an interactive, multiple-entry key. The InsideWood collection has 5,686 descriptions and 28,576 images. ... [Information of the supplier]
This site offers a simple method of identifying woody plants from their leaves. It is intended for laypeople and those learning biology in primary and secondary schools. The collection is being constantly expanded. All pictures are from the author. Unless otherwise stated, the size on a 17" monitor is roughly the size in reality. ...

Dendrome is a collection of forest tree genome databases and other forest genetic information resources for the international forest genetics community. Dendrome is part of a larger collaborative effort to construct genome databases for major crop and forest species. [Information of the supplier]
The University of Connecticut has developed this site dedicated to the ornamental attributes, appropriate use and identification of landscape plants. This site is geared toward the teaching of landscape plants and contains valuable information for students, homeowners and plant professionals. At the core of this site are plant information pages that contain text, photographs, illustrations and latin name pronounciations. The plants listed in this resource are meant to create an awareness of the great variety of ornamental plants that will grow in USDA hardiness zone 6 or colder, and to encourage people to think about planting a greater variety of ornamentals. The interactive Plant Selector is available to allow users to search the University of Connecticut Plant Database to find trees, shrubs and vines which meet specific landscape situations and express particular ornamental traits. ...

The Wollemi Pine is one of the world's oldest and rarest tree species belonging to a 200 million year old plant family. It was known from fossil records and was presumed extinct until it was discovered in 1994 in the Wollemi National Park just outside Australia's largest city, Sydney. The mission of Wollemi Pine International is to conserve the Wollemi Pine for future generations and to raise awareness of conservation internationally. Through public participation, we will repopulate the Wollemi Pine and return royalties to fund conservation of the Pines in the wild and other threatened and endangered species. ...

The Central Database for Cultivated Woody Plants in Europe Ginkgo (www.uni-duisburg-essen.de/ginkgo) now comes into existence, after many years of preparatory work, and at the instigation of the Board of the German Dendrological Society (DDG), and in co-operation with several universities, nurseries, arboretums, botanical gardens, park administrations, nature protection and memorial garden authorities. The homepage gives an insight into the status of the registration of remarkable trees (habitat, location, growth etc.) as well as providing further knowledge about trees and shrubs (nomenclature, origin, distribution, location, growth behaviour, morphology, use, propagation, diseases etc.). More information about the database Ginkgo is found in the same place under “General”, or through the database administration. All those who themselves, out of interest, within the framework of their practical work, or in the course of their studies and diploma work, are concerned in the collection and evaluation of data on trees and shrubs (e.g. registration of specimens, protection of woods, care of memorial gardens, new planting of woods, care of woods, scope of care) may participate in the construction of the Gingko Register (after creating username and password). The woody plants inventory of DDG (1974) and simplified are made available, scientific names are partly available via and are linked to the inventory. The making available of more data such as e.g. aids to age estimation, information about habitat demands, gardening or biological engineering application possibilities, etc., is being worked on. ...
