OK guys, heres a new thread for you all....
When you are looking for information on a plant, what information do you
generally want to find and in what format.
For myself, if I am looking for information on a plant, the most common
information I want is:
* History of naming (synonyms, taxonomists etc)
* Reference books/journals that have information about that plant
* Description of growth forms and idiosyncrasies of the species/hybrid
* Photographs of the species and varietals
* Taxanomic description of the type species of the plant for comparison
to the plant which I am looking at
* Flowering season in its native environment
Look forward to your views.
Cheers
Kye.
