Other National, State & Baja Resources

These are print and online references that we have used to help identify plants we've photographed in our travels outside California.

Flora of North America. http://www.efloras.org/ The online and multi-volume print set are also very useful for California natives.

Tropicos (Missouri Botanical Garden) http://www.tropicos.org/

ITIS http://www.itis.gov/ ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) has taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world. There are no photos associated with this site. ITIS and Jepson do not always agree on the accepted scientific names of plants.
