Browsable and searchable database of plant chemicals and worldwide uses of plants. The geographic scope of the project includes the continental United States of America, including the Florida Keys and Aleutian Islands, Canada, Greenland, and St. Pierre and Miquelon islands, an area of approximately 21,461,100 square kilometers. The selection options on this page, and the menu bar below, provide various paths for exploration or comparison of three major systems of flowering plant classification. Selection of a Family name will query an indexed file to produce a set of web links with information on that Family or included taxa.

This searchable database includes bibliographic citations, as well as information about the 'typification and nomenclatural status' of generic names. Our Plant Image Gallery is an ongoing project which currently includes over 600 species of vascular plants. However, there are nearly 5000 species of vascular plants known to Texas and nearly 3000 species of vascular plants known to Oklahoma. We are located in Ardmore, Oklahoma which is halfway between Dallas, Texas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Therefore, the closer you are to this region of the country, the greater the likelihood of you finding plants in our Plant Image Gallery that are common to your region.
