An image database of over 20,000 native and naturalised plants and habitats of California, which may be searched or browsed by scientific or common name. Data on the plants includes community, habitat, status and distribution maps for California. The site also contains potted biographies of each contributing photographer. This resource has been developed by the Digital Library project of the University of California, Berkeley. Of particular interest is the work of the Rare Plant Program, which maintains an inventory of endangered and rare Californian plants.
Access is given here to a collection of rare plant slides.
Free access is also given to latest issues of the Society's Bulletin and journal, Fremontia, both in PDF format. The user can browse through the flowers by colour, floristic region, family, scientific or common name. Each species record provides an image, a short description and taxonomic and distribution information. This resource has been compiled by staff from the Botany Department at the California Academy of Sciences. It defines a total of 2,627 terms.
