HI!  I am TA-ing a plant science class and wanted to give the students a 
list of cool web sites on plants.  I am interested in getting any web 
addresses that are related to plants....these can be strongly scientific 
or more recreational and less academic.  Thanks!!!!

nancy

p.s. I know I can use web browsers like Yahoo, but I am hoping to get 
sites that people on these newsgroups think are great.

A great web site is the California Native Plant Society site.  The address is,
http://www.calpoly.edu/~dchippin/cnps_main.html

This site has pictures, quizzes and a bunch of other cool stuff.

I have been collecting botanical sites one day at a time, looking at them and 
selecting the best and writing comments on them and putting them on my Web 
site for more than a month now.  I am a botany professor and I am also looking 
for high quality educational sites and resources with the goal of being able 
to use these in a class situation.  I look at educational quality, 
scientific content, presentation and completeness.  I have rated the sites 
with stars (4 is best). For each site I use, I usually look at 10 or more 
possibilities, so the ratings may look higher than they are.

I have called this my "Botanical Link of the Day" and it is updated daily on 
weekdays.  I hope that this may be useful for you and others who are looking 
for good botanical sites and I am therefore including this on the newsgroup.  
The URL is:

     http://www.ou.edu/cas/botany-micro/bot-linx/

This is part of the OU Botany & Microbiology Web site that I take care of. I 
decided to do this one link a day for anyone who follows this and so I won't 
be inundated with Web searching.  Also, if anyone has any nominations 
(including self-nominations), please let me know.     - SR

Nancy........My good friend and professor emeritus of botany is Julius
Heinis. He has a web page at: http://144.174.177.33/~Julius.html

Also there is a nice web page on Singapore orchids. You might ask that
site too. I visited it once, and was pleased. Also use the search
engine http://www.webcrawler.com

It one of the best I know..........:) Micro, not a microbe!

Hello, Nancy.

Try Rebecca's "Faerie Flora and Trees"

http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~rlehmann/flora.html

Perhaps an appreciation of the role of plants in our folklore would be 
an education to all of us, not just ageing hippies like me ;-)

In my opinion faeries, and the 'spirits' of plants and trees are simply 
a folk representation of the innovative ideas formalised scientifically 
in the Gaia Hypothesis.

So, try the "Gaia Forest Archives"

http://gaia1.ies.wisc.edu/research/pngfores

But then some people think that the Gaia hypothesis is just a faerie 
storie, don't they ... ?

	Tony.
