A distributed Internet project containing information about phylogeny and biodiversity. The project is designed to contain information about the phylogenetic relationships and characteristics of organisms, to illustrate the diversity and unity of living organisms, and to link biological information available on the Internet in the form of a phylogenetic navigator. The project aims to provide a map to biological information to be used by researchers, teachers and students.

Features material on annuals, bulbs, succulents, fruit, grass, water plants, herbs, spices, houseplants, perennials, shrubs, bushes, trees, vegetables, vines, crawlers and wild flowers. Also includes a dictionary of botanical words, links to botanical gardens, associations, and societies.
 
Annotated links to Internet resources for palaeobotanists, with an Upper Triassic bias.
 
Information on the flowering plants of Andean South America, presented in English and Spanish. Provides descriptions, photos, and illustrations of flora in specific geographic regions, including Chile, and coastal and Northern Peru. Also features plant checklists for ecoregions such as coastal deserts, montane forests, and inter
Andean valleys.
 
Index of botanical information on the Internet. Resources tend to concentrate on the Texas area with material presented in a variety of formats, and covering a number of topics including specimen, distribution, flowering plants and related species, as well as an extensive vascular plant image gallery.

The mission of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is to enable better management of the earth's environment by increasing knowledge and understanding of the plant kingdom. Online information includes details of collections, scientific research, conservation, education, heritage and publications, as well as access to the Kew plant databases.
 
Official international system of rules of nomenclature used by botanists in all countries, dealing with the terms which denote the ranks of taxonomic groups or units and the scientific names which are applied to the individual taxonomic groups of plants. Includes subject and scientific name indexes.
 
Database of flowering plants typically found in California, with photographs, descriptive information, and details of species' distribution. Resource is navigable by flower colour, common name, Latin name, family, and a geographical map of floralistic California.
 
Set of links to journals relevant to botany, crop and soil science. Some have only subscription information online, others have tables of contents, abstracts or full text.
 
Biology related educational resources arranged by subject, including human biology, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and botany, with reviews, articles, news and texts.
 
A collection of over 70 journals covering topics including botany, physiology, psychiatry, chemistry, pharmacology, genetics, microbiology and neuroscience. Tables of contents and abstracts from current and recent issues are freely available online, with full text available to subscribers. Archives of many titles are also available.
 
An automated catalogue of numerous mailing lists relevant to natural history and life sciences, with descriptions and subscription details.
 
This service provides networked access to the BIOSIS Previews database, which is the electronic version of Biological Abstracts, the largest printed reference publication for life sciences research information, and Biological Abstracts/RRM (Reports, Reviews, Meetings), the companion printed reference to books, meetings, and research reviews. Thousands of life science journals, as well as international meetings and books from more than 90 countries, are monitored for inclusion in BIOSIS Previews. The database contains bibliographic information from 1985 onwards for traditional areas of biology such as botany, zoology, and microbiology, as well as related fields such as agriculture, pharmacology, biophysics, ecology, bioengineering, and experimental clinical medicine. Subscription required.
 
A set of preliminary, broad
scale ecosystem map reconstructions is presented for the world at the Last Glacial Maximum (18,000 years ago) and the early Holocene (8,000 years ago), the mid Holocene (5,000 years ago) and for comparison 'present-potential' maps that may be regarded as approximating the late Holocene vegetation distribution as it would - or might - have been without agricultural modification.
 
Index of botany resources. Includes university departments, societies, botanical gardens and information for scientists and gardeners.
 
Searchable dictionary of life science terms, including biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, cell biology and genetics.
 
Information pertaining to the natural resources of the Amazon Rainforest, with a tropical plant database that is searchable by common name, botanical name, or ailment. Information is then given on use of substances and remedies, together with an extensive image gallery, and details of environmental issues relating to the Rainforest, such as its destruction and preservation.
 
A collection of biological science resources for teaching and research. Includes articles, lectures, activities, diagrams and images for a range of subjects such as botany, cell biology, ecology, palaeontology and zoology.
 
Catalogue of links which cover natural resources and energy, palaeontology, biology, botany, and zoology.
