Hello from Santa Cruz, California-
Scott Russell's free Botanical Link of the Day is, and I quote from
his website, "my effort to compile useful botany education resources
for the advanced high school (AP-biology) and college level. Internet
resources vary in quality, so I have rated sites on a 4-star scale
emphasizing educational value, completeness and scientific
correctness."
He's been doing this since 1996 and all his discoveries are
interesting to me but from time to time one pops up that is of
particular import to mediterranean gardeners. For a complete list
of the websites he's researched (and checked for current access)
you can go to the bottom of the page at

Following is today's link about Wattles.
Take care-
Nancy

WattleWeb - Wattles of New South Wales
http://plantnet.rbgsyd.gov.au/PlantNet/wattle/
In Australia, the wattle (Acacia) is the largest genus of flowering
plants, with over 960 species. People often can recognize that a given
tree or shrub is a "wattle" but it is often difficult to identify it
to species. This site features information about wattles, a clever
interactive key, browser to many species descriptions, ecological
information, and gardening with wattles. It is a bit visually
impoverished but the information would be useful to anyone working on
this plant or its near relatives. Site by Sydney Royal Botanic Garden.
