This article is very informative. However, how to identify the plants. Is
there any website which has pictures of these plants?

The are many sites with botanical images - if you do a web search for
' plant images' at least a 100 sites will fall each having at least a
thousand pictures. You can try:

http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/gallery.htm
http://www.anbg.gov.au/images/photo_cd/

The plant images are sorted by families so you can do a search within
the site for the genera name, say Eclipta.

Sites specific to Siddha plants and Singapore plants, I am afraid not
many. And of these, they have about 10 plants each, and the pictures
may not be good enough to help you identify the real ones. You can
try:

http://www.nparks.gov.sg/plants/tre/pla-tre-als.shtml
http://www.campo-research.com/campo/f-products.html

There are local books with pictures - you can browse them at the MPH
bookstores or the National Library:

Medicinal Plants of Singapore - Singapore Science Centre
Horticultural Shrubs of Singapore - Singapore Science Centre

Trees of Singapore - National Parks board
Plants of Singapore - National Parks board

There are other books on Tropical plants - cultivated and wild, you
can see at the MPH.
