Hi, Im a possible botany major, and was wondering if anyone knew of
good websites out there, that can provide info/pictures of trees and
shrubs. Thanks Alot!

Did you do a google search, Mac Dweeb?

You can also look here, you lazy yo.

Are you for real or a troll? We have a curmudgeon in this group who is going to
blast you for that question.
If you are serious and a college student, you need to learn how to use your
seach engine. I suggest you start by searching on the name of a specific tree,
say Cornus florida. You will find any number of sites with pictures and
information. Bookmark the best ones and use them to find information on other
trees. Eventually you will find the most useful sites. Some I would suggest are
USDA, the National Forest Service, the US National Arboretum, and the
University of Connecticut. The RHS is also a valuable resource.

Hey, Iris! I hope you're not referring to Celluloid! (Actually, I
saw Toy Boy's response earlier, and he gave an interesting link that
I wasn't aware of, to an enormous compendium of websites -- albeit
still rather "unedited". But thanks anyway, mate. :-)

True, to a point. But the poor bugger may not yet know about Latin
binomials. [An aside -- I heard the other day that some bloke is
proposing some new taxonomic system that isn't quite so much at the
whim of professionals when it comes to name changes. But the mate
who mentioned it couldn't recall the reference. :-( ]

Frankly, I see nothing at all wrong with approaching a group of
self-declared "experts" in a newsgroup called sci.bio.botany and
asking for opinions about "good websites" as the OP wanted. What's
wrong with that? Why should *everyone* wade through all the crap out
there when there are people who do that sort of thing for a living and
can point you in the right direction?

No problem Celluloid, mate. It's only AUD11.40 for 15 ml, but I guess
you would need 5 or 10 litres to do noticeable good, so it would get a
bit expensive for someone with your problems. But at least it's
available online, so you won't be at risk from drop bears:
http://www.livingessences.com.au/catalog/product_info.
php?products_id=46

For you others out there, interested in botany rather than essences,
you can find a species list of _Parakeelya_ at
http://www.anbg.gov.au/apni/apniP.html

The parent site http://www.anbg.gov.au/apni/ is well worth visiting
if you're interested in the Australian flora. But do be a bit
selective as some of the linked files are rather large (e.g. that list
of P's runs to over 950 KB). If downloads are no problem for you, you
can get the full list of known names as a single 7 MB file. ("Known"
names are not equivalent to "species" -- some 65000 names are known to
have been used at one time or another for an estimated 20000 species.)

Cheers, Phred.
