Website with floral structures

Postby SU_reptile on Fri Jul 21, 2006 9:31 am

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know a good website describing in details floral and vegetative structures in different families (or just groups) of plants. Well labelled figures are welcome.
I believe there are people who know such sites.

hey Su Reptile I had a ton of sites bookmarked for research for school, but I just went through and deleted them. I found that use the botanical name when searching, put it in quotes, and go for the edu sites you will find good info.

For example one of my papers was on Eastern Cottonwood, I used this site for a reference after putting in "populus deltoides"

An other paper on Orchids I found a huge amount of detailed info when I used the botanical name.

Are you searching for something in particular?

Well, I think... not particular thing. I want to improve my language skills on biological (botanical) field, but I can't afford for a good and up-to-date (2000<) foreign reference book. That's the reason I am looking for some detailed websites or documents.

For example, recently I was looking for a structure of a flower in Poaceae (grass) family. I found only few information on Wikipedia.
Ahh, my problem is that I know the Polish nomenclature but I don't know the English one. Perhaps you know or have some PDF with some labelled figures? If you found that deleted URLs please put them here, would you?
Big thx for a reply anyway :wink:

Oh did you by chance take turf grass class? That was a very boring class. :lol:

I did my mid term on native American grass, Actauly most sites I know of are on grass from the US, but I found this site for you for starters :

http://pick4.pick.uga.edu/mp/20q?search=Poaceae

I will look for more later :)
