I have found the NRCS Plant Taxonomy Database to be a useful source of
information. It should help out those with questions about United States
(50 states, associated governments and insular possession) flora.

<P>The <a href="http://trident.ftc.nrcs.usda.gov/plants/">Plants
Database</a> provides a single source of standardized information about
plants. PLANTS provides standardized plant names, symbols and other plant
attribute information. This standardized information permits scientists
and other persons interested in plants across disciplines to freely
exchange accurate plant-related information because they are all using the
same plant names and symbols.</P>
