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. BRBR 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.

Right back at ya, Kangaroo boy.
Despite your best efforts to the contrary, you can still actually learn a thing or two!!! How about looking up a Parakeelya for me? "Phred" wrote in message ...

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. -- LID |
