Introduction to the Seed Plants From UC- Berkeley, this covers conifers and flowering plants, then points you to more information on their phylogeny. This database includes every new plant name at the rank of family, genus, species, and any ranks below the species level.
Coverage includes North, South and Central America, Greenland, the West Indies and adjacent islands.
You must know at least part of the scientific name to use this database. Search for the scientific name or common name of any plant. If you are looking for a scientific name, enter the common name, and if you are looking for a common name enter the scientific name. Conjugating green algae, stoneworts and brittleworts, and flowering plants are currently covered in the greatest detail. TreeBASE stores phylogenetic trees and the data matrices used to generate them from published research papers.
