This interactive guide is addressed to anyone who is interested in the flora of Estonia. It includes c. 1100 plant species (out of ca 1500 species recorded from Estonia), incl. several introduced woody species which are cultivated in parks and orchards. Some plants which are difficult to separate even for specialists are excluded from this key, e.g. many species of Alchemilla, Craetagus, Hieracium, Rosa, Salix, Taraxacum etc. Several very rare species are excluded as well from the present version. This guide was prepared within the project KeyToNature, in cooperation between the University of Trieste (Italy), the University of Tartu and the Estonian University of Life Sciences (Estonia). Aino Kalda, Thea Kull , Ülle Reier have provided important input. Rein Kalamees, Jaan Liira, Jaanus Paal, Kersti Püssa, Elle Roosaluste, Kai Rünk, Andres Saag and Tiina Talve put at our disposal several pictures. ... [Information of the supplier]
The atlas of Florida vascular plants is a joint effort by the Institute for Systematic Botany, the University of South Florida and the Florida Center for Community Design and Research to provide users with a comprehensive searchable database of vascular plants in the State of Florida. Records are based on collections in the four major Florida institutional herbaria having the largest holdings of Florida plants: University of Florida (FLAS), Florida State University (FSU), Fairchild Tropical Gardens (FTG), and University of South Florida (USF). ...

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. ...

You can find interesting plants everywhere in Britain and Ireland. This site is intended to help you identify them. On the following pages you will be presented with a questionnaire on the characteristics of the plant you are trying to identify. Fill in the form and press search, the computer will then try and identify the plant you have found. You may also like to use the system to obtain a check-list of plants from a particular habitat or perhaps find flowers of a particular colour to grow in your garden. Feel free to experiment, there are many uses for the system. ... [Information of the supplier]
There are approximately 17,000 terrestrial, 500 freshwater, and 5,500 marine species of plants and animals in Hawai‘i. Bishop Museum, which has the world’s largest biological collections for Hawai‘i (about 4 million specimens) is conducting field surveys to document the distribution of these organisms and is organizing information from its collections and the associated scientific literature into comprehensive computerized databases. This information will be used to assist natural resource agencies in the proper management of Hawaii’s precious and rich biota for years to come. ... [Information of the supplier]
This collection consists of nearly 600 views of plants commonly found in Western Washington. The views are not diagnostic in that one would rarely be able to determine technical features such as the numbers of stamens. However, most provide "aspect" level identification such that in most cases, a person with a little training could identify the plant illustrated to species. Considerable ecological information is also provided. One can search for species within a plant family, species with the same wetland indicator value, species found in particular locations, or species not native to the state. This collection was designed as an aid to student learning and helps to augment laboratory and field trips in Botany 455 at the University of Washington. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Washington Flora Checklist aims to be a complete checklist of the vascular plants of Washington State. The checklist currently contains 3662 unique taxa. Taxa included in the checklist: native taxa whether extant, extirpated, or extinct; exotic taxa that are naturalized, escaped from cultivation, or persisting wild; waifs (e.g., ballast plants) and other rarely collected exotics; Interspecific hybrids that are frequent or self-maintaining; Unnamed taxa in the process of being described. Fred Weinmann initiated development of the checklist in 1998, and with the help of Peter Zika and others a draft checklist was completed by 2002. In 2007 the checklist was transferred to the UW Herbarium, funded by grants from the Bureau of Land Management and Washington Native Plant Society. Please note: This checklist is still a work in progress. Use it at your discretion. Families and taxa updated from 2004 and on are the most reliable. ... [Information of the supplier]
