Besides the new herbarium image data base at W3Tropicos site of the Missouri
Botanical Garden (http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/image/imagefr.html),
others have emerged:
New York Botanical Garden Vascular Plant Type Catalog:
http://www.nybg.org/bsci/hcol/vasc/
Also, there are data bases for regional floras, usually associated with a
local university:
A Synonymized Checklist of the Vascular Flora of the United States, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands (joint effort of BONAP and TAMU-BWG):
http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/b98/check98.htm
A Synonymized Checklist of the Vascular Flora of the United States, Canada,
and Greenland (joint effort of BONAP and the Museum Informatics Project of
the University of California at Berkeley):
http://shanana.berkeley.edu:80/query_forms/browse_checklist.html
ARIZ, the Herbarium at the University of Arizona in Tucson:
http://eebweb.arizona.edu/Herb/
Australian Environment On-Line Species Mapper (under revision)
http://www.environment.gov.au/search/mapper.html
http://www.environment.gov.au/index.html
Hopefully, BONAP (Biota of North America Program) of the North Carolina
Botanical Garden will follow with a contribution.
There are many others (UTexas ElPaso, Florida wildflowers, for example) that
I will add later.
