Ethnobotany and Botany Databases

This is really daunting because there are so many online databases. What I am going to try to list here is the most comprehensive databases. Wish me luck.



The World Flora Online (WFO)

World Flora Online is the international initiative to achieve Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and provides a global overview of the diversity of plant species. It is the essential tool for conservation planners, policymakers and practitioners at all levels.
