Bibliography of websites concerned with individual genera, plant groups and families and also general websites.

The basis of this listing has been taken from an article 'The Internet: a Source of Information on Plants' written by W. Anthony Lord in The Plantsman, The RHS, New Series Volume 3, Part 3, September 2004, p. 144-145. The links have been checked and all should work; some URL's have changed compared to Tony Lord's original article, but the information contained therein should be the same. In no way is Anthony Lord responsible for any mistakes made here, but his work has been used with kind permission and is much appreciated.
