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. |
