I'm searching for websites for seed traits. I know the LEDA database and other european sites, but i need information about North American and Asian wild plants. Mostly Cyperaceae. Thank you!
If you happen to be interested in morphological traits, botanical classification, geo localization and characterization of plants and also pictures of most of them, I’d like to recommend a web site I “love” and that has proved useful to me in so many ways and opportunities:
www.plants.usda.gov
That's the web site of the United States Department of Agriculture, and it's great.
I was doing a little bit more research for the topic of your interest and I thought of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, that is located in Washington DC.
I've been there, was lucky enough to get to see some collections first hand (I had a cousin who was a researcher there).
I'd like to suggerst the following link hoping it may prove of help for you.
