NEW SOUTH WALES FLORA ONLINE |
 |
A comprehensive botanical treatment in an Electronic format
INTRODUCTION
This site presents a demonstration of one approach to an electronic Flora of New South Wales. Data are derived from the printed Flora of New South Wales series, published by the UNSW Press, augmented with data from electronic sources maintained by the National Herbarium of New South Wales. Please note that data have not been fully checked for consistency, and are not fully up-to-date. This site is to be regarded as a prototype presented as a demonstration, and not necessarily as an authoritative resource. However, the updating of this site is one of our major priorities.
