General
BiologyBrowser - produced by BIOSIS, is a free web site offering resources for the life sciences information community.
Bioresearch - is a free catalog of hand-selected and evaluated Internet resources, covering the biological and biomedical sciences (biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, virology, biotechnology etc.). New resources are added weekly.
Index to Organism Names - Contains all the animal, plant, and virus names data found within the Thomson BIOSIS literature databases.
National Biological Information Infrastructure - This website is maintained by the Center for Biological Informatics of the U.S. Geological Survey and includes current biological issues, teacher resources, and biological disciplines.

Botany
Department of Botany - From the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, access botany images, publications and research. Of special interest is the Catalog of Botanical Illustrations, under the Image section, which includes over 15,000 images of plant species and plant habitats. This catalog is intended for public as well as professional use.
Noble Foundation Plant Image Gallery - is an ongoing project which currently includes over 600 species of vascular plants. There are nearly 5000 species of vascular plants known to Texas and nearly 3000 species of vascular plants known to Oklahoma. They are located in Ardmore, Oklahoma which is halfway between Dallas, Texas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Therefore, the closer you are to this region of the country, the greater the likelihood of you finding plants in our Plant Image Gallery that are common to your region.
Plants National Database - From USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, this site provides standardized plant names, symbols and other information. Search the database, or access the photo gallery, sample plant guides, and more.
