Information on all known species in Australia aggregated from a wide range of data providers. Contains more than 50 million occurrence records, based on specimens, field observations and surveys, enriched by additional information including molecular data, photographs, maps, sound recordings and literature.

The Australian National Botanic Gardens, on the lower slopes of Black Mountain in Canberra, has the world’s most comprehensive display of living Australian native plants. A place for recreation, inspiration, science and learning. Use the links on this page to explore the Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research (CANBR) and the Integrated Botanical Information System (IBIS).

Maintained by the Australian National Botanic Gardens as part of its larger IBIS database, the Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature.

This unique collaboration between Australia's top research institute conservation managers embraces the bringing together of the wide-ranging skills, expertise and resources of the CSIRO and the Australian National Herbarium to allow new scope for scientific research on biodiversity that provides a basis for conservation, management and sustainable use of the Australian flora.

Information about entry conditions, restrictions and quarantine when moving plants and plant products, general plant health, pests, diseases and weeds including an A-Z list and information about eradication and surveillance and more.

Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is the world’s largest open access digital library for biodiversity literature and archives

Global Plants lets herbaria share their plant type specimens, experts determine and update plant names, and students discover and learn about plants in context. The database is an essential resource for institutions supporting research and teaching in botany, ecology, and conservation studies.

The New York Botanical Gardens operate one of the world's largest plant research and conservation programs, with nearly 200 staff members—including 80 Ph.D. scientists—working in the Garden's state-of-the-art molecular labs as well as in the field, where they lead programs in 49 countries.

This site provide a multi-dimensional catalogue of plant life, including information on identification, distribution, traits, threat status, molecular phylogenies and uses. It uses Royal Botanical Kew Garden’s extensive data resources alongside images from the digitisation of the collections.

The PLANTS Database provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories. It includes names, plant symbols, checklists, distributional data, species abstracts, characteristics, images, crop information, automated tools, onward Web links, and references.
