List of Plant Species - Taxonomic Order (Ordered by Families)
Using the lists
As a quick short cut for users, this page contains a list of all the plant species that are included in this identification guide. If you are wanting to check a particular species, simply locate it on the list here; clicking on the name will take you straight to it. This list is available in three formats: Alphabetical by English Name, Alphabetical by Scientific Name or in Taxonomic Order. To access the list that is easiest for you to use, simply choose from the left hand column.
Note: A quick way to find a species in the list is to use the find feature on your keyboard (control + F) and type in part of the name. On an Android phone, you can touch the menu bar at the bottom of the screen (drag down to get this menu to show), select 'Find on page' then begin typing the name you require - the screen will jump to your selection. On an iphone, you will need a somewhat more complicated process; touch the url box at the top of the screen and the keyboard will appear; start to type in the search name you require and you will be offered a list of search options; scroll down these options to the bottom and select 'on this page'. The phone will now search for your selection on the page and you can find your required species.
