From: "David W. Inouye"Subject: NeoFlora - world's largest plant database 13. NeoFlora http://www.neoflora.com/ Launched on August 9, this new site bills itself as the world's largest plant database, indexing over 38,000 plants. Aimed at gardeners and horticultural enthusiasts rather than botanists, the site is easily searched by keyword or "sounds like." Advanced search options include multiple options under four categories: plant types, plant characteristics, plant ranges, and plant descriptions. Listings for individual plants are fairly comprehensive, including lists of plant requirements, characteristics, and care tips. A glossary section links to definitions for selected terms, and additional (rather small) photos are accessed by clicking on the plant image. Users are invited to submit photos or tips for any of the plants indexed. Other resources at the site include some plant care tips and information on common pests and diseases.
