These explorations can be enjoyed vicariously by others through this page. Site assembled by Roy Lent and sponsored by 7 Continents. This is principally an image site with photographs of wildflowers and herbs of the Appalachians, although most of the species shown are widely distributed east of the Mississippi. He has especially emphasized plants with alleged medicinal value. The photographs are copyrighted and for instructional and educational uses only.
Photographs are accessible through a search engine.
This site is part of the Berkeley Digital Library Project. This site distinguishes itself as the only plant anatomy site that I know of to date. It is well adapted for an overview of plant structure for a beginning botany class, for example. This site is created and maintained by Sr. Frances M. Cardillo, O.S.F. and Tonya S. Samuels, Department of Biology, Manhattan College and the College of Mt. St. Vincent.
