Melody,
Common to Botanical, but not the other way around:
http://www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com/comvawi.htm

RHS Database Search:
http://www.rhs.org.uk/databases/summary.asp

Plant Press Dictionary (predates RHS)
http://plantpress.com/docn.htm

I have a few others on my work computer, unfortunately Earthlink has
totally screwed up webmail starting today making it very difficult to use. 
If I think of any others I'll post them.
