Title: Database resources for correct taxonamy
Post by: Michael_Ashman on December 20, 2015, 07:58:16 PM

I made the decision to stay with Linnaeus because I simply do not have the brain capacity or time to study other types of nomenclature. It is simple , well used and the RHS use it.  And I'm lazy.

However my OCD requires that I name my plants correctly and it is always good to find resources that are 100% reliable. These text books are becoming increasingly available on line.

This thread is for people that have a good on line data resource and would like to share. Here are couple of mine.

Bean's Trees and Shrubs is now available on line http://www.dendrology.org/site/en/tree-info

And http://thepelargoniumregister.com

Names are updated very regularly in accordance with the latest developments.
