The Botanical Exploration in Myanmar project is a collaborative effort involving participants from the U.S. National Herbarium, the Forest Department of Myanmar, and the University of Yangon. In April 2003 we published a checklist of the gymnosperms and angiosperms of Myanmar in the Smithsonian Contributions to Botany series. This checklist updates four previous editions dating back to 1912. This Web site presents only the 2003 version of the checklist. The database of names for the checklist is being kept up to date with new information and the current version is available here. ... [Information of the supplier]
NParks FloraWeb has been created to cater to the growing horticultural awareness and interest amongst people in Singapore in acquiring more information on plants. This plant database aims to be the source of reference for all who are interested in horticulture and landscaping - ranging from novice gardeners and students to keen enthusiasts and professionals in the field. Originally based on the information compiled in our popular publication '1001 Garden Plants in Singapore', the content available in NParks FloraWeb is mainly pictorial, with brief information represented by icons that describe plant characteristics, growth requirements, uses and so on. ...

Ferns are a conspicuous element of the vegetation of most tropical regions. They occur in a wide variety of habitats from freshwater ponds and swamp areas to terrestrial plants in forest at all altitudes to lithophytic on rocks or epiphytic on tree trunks or branches. They are frequently overlooked in biodiversity surveys, in part because they are difficult to identify for the non-specialist. In this website we hope to address this problem and to promote Southeast Asian ferns as an integral part of Asia’s vascular plant diversity. This website aims to provide comprehensive lists of all species of ferns known from Thailand, Laos and Cambodia; provide a Factsheet for each species which lists such information as the correct name and its synonym(s), a description, its distribution and its conservation status; and to provide a multi-access key to identify all species. The information contained within this website is only as good as the information that has become available through fieldwork and herbarium collections made. Laos and Cambodia have amongst the lowest plant collection densities for Asia so it is very likely that many species will eventually be found in those countries that have yet to be recorded. Even for Thailand new records and new species are regularly reported. We hope to ensure that this website is kept up-to-date with new discoveries as and when they are reported. ...
