Is There a Complete Illustrated Online Plant Glossary?
I have been looking for a complete illustrated plant glossary that would be accessible online. The closest I have come is one called the Botanical Visual Glossary by the LSU herbarium another by Arieh Tal that use photos to show plant parts with little arrows. This is a good start and I hope they continue adding more terms and more photos to their terms in this fashion. Maybe one of our readers knows of another online glossary that I am missing. My ultimate wish would be to have online dichotomous keys (I have a hard time with random access interactive keys; I don’t think you learn characters as well with them) that would have hotlinks to photos or short videos to the descriptive words or phrases in the couplets. – Steve Young

Another website I enjoy for its clear photographs which illustrate different terms is: http://plant-phytography.blogspot.com/
What’s also fun is that these are all plants native to New Zealand so I get to see plants I don’t typically find around me in North Carolina.

Hi Steve,
In addition to the two you list above, here are a few others that I have found useful:
Don’s Garden (Leaf Shapes List and Glossary pages): http://www.donsgarden.co.uk
Wayne’s Word (all thing botanical): http://waynesword.palomar.edu
vPlants (online plant glossary from Plants of the Chicago Region): http://www.vplants.org/plants/glossary/
Cheers,
Susan
