Missouri Botanical Garden Website
Missouri Botanical Garden Website [http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/]
Pros:
- This website provides useful brief information of plants with regard to their background, form and usage.
- Multiple colour picture allows better understanding of the plants.
- Features pronunciation of Latin scientific names.
- Features other people’s comment towards featured species, useful for reference.
Cons:
- Species and cultivar of plants listed on the website is very limited.
- Detailed information for plant identification purposes, for example, leafs arrangements (opposite/alternate) are not listed.
- The display priority of the website’s “Plant Finder” searching engine is not very helpful; for example, when searching for Salix ‘Chrysocoma’, the more relevant result of “Salix alba ‘Tristis'” is listed after the less relevant “Salix alba” page.
