Conceived as a collaborative research project to provide access to habitat descriptions, photographs, observations, nomenclature, distribution maps, and other data on California's wild plants, Calflora is now the online gateway to information about California’s wild plants. The database provides: comprehensive habitat and distribution information for wild plants—over 7,660 native and introduced species; over 850,000 plant location observations; information on over 15,000 relationships between old and new plant names; access to over 30,000 photographs of California plants in the CalPhotos database (provided in collaboration with the UC Berkeley Digital Library Project); online tools that help users find, display, and download the information they need. ...

Washington State contains a diverse array of landscapes, from lush coastal rainforests to dry sagebrush plains, high alpine meadows and much more in between. Across these landscapes an equally diverse array of plants can be found; by our estimate Washington contains within its borders nearly 3,200 species of vascular plants divided among some 860 genera and 146 families. WTU's Plants of Washington Image Collection presents 5713 photographs for 1184 of those species. Development began in March 2004 with financial support provided in part by the Washington Native Plant Society, and we hope to continue expanding our image collection to include photographs of as much of Washington's flora as possible. ...

As the only local spider specialist in a large metropolitan area, I get many inquiries about spiders from the general public. Since I'm mentioned on the Internet as a spider specialist, some of the public inquiries come from distant places. I also lecture on spiders to both adult and elementary-school audiences, and these audiences always have questions and comments; as do casual acquaintances when they first learn that I work with spiders. ...

In more arid regions, vegetative cover is generally sparse. Open spaces are usually covered by biological soil crusts, a highly specialized community of cyanobacteria, mosses, and lichens. [Information of the supplier]

This site, which is under development, provides electronic access to field notebooks archived in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology collections. The goals of this project are to capture metadata on notebook volumes and sections, and to scan and reference pages for online browsing and querying. Current grant support provides funding to focus on digitization of a subset of historical materials pertaining to major early (1900-1950) faunal expeditions in California. Some of this material is unknown to the scientific community, and its usefulness will grow as it is made available. The majority of our field notes are associated with specimens deposited in the MVZ collections. Ultimately, our goal is to digitally link information from field notes, specimens, photographs, maps, and other materials (e.g., sound recordings) to maximize access for scientific researchers, conservation and management agencies, non-governmental organizations, historians, and other users. ...

The following website describes a classification of vegetation developed by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). It is a digital version of the book A Manual of California Vegetation published through the Society. A Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) is out of print. The information in this website encompasses virtually all of the information in the book with the exception of the literature citations. The book also has the advantage of higher resolution color photography than is possible through the web. Since the publication of the book in late 1995 a number of agencies and organizations have adopted the MCV classification. These include the California Department of Fish and Game, US. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Nature Conservancy, and the US Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division. The classification developed in the Manual of California Vegetation is being refined and amended. Currently, major quantitative revisions are being developed for large portions of the California deserts and refinement is on-going on U.S. Forest Service lands and National Park Service lands. Through a joint effort of the CNPS and several state and federal agencies new information on disturbance regimes and successional states of vegetation is being developed for each vegetation description. ...

The mission of the Oregon Flora Project is to serve as a comprehensive resource for the vascular plants of Oregon that grow without cultivation, and to foster effective use of this knowledge by all citizens. [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 Fungi of California is an expanded version of the former "Fungi of the San Francisco Bay Area". The Fungi of California contains photographs over 560 species of fungi found in California, with over 450 of the species with descriptions. There are currently over 3700 total photographs of the mushrooms. Included are links to other online descriptions and photos of the species treated plus references to common field guides. Also included is a Glossary of mycological terms and a Bibliography of useful mycological references. ... [Information of the supplier]
