ELECTRONIC REFERENCE MATERIAL IN PLACE OF BOOKS TO AID WITH PLANT IDENTIFICATION AND FOR DETAILS ON LIKELY GROWTH HABIT, ETC. FOR LANDSCAPE PROJECTS
Hi!
We are investigating if there are any software books or reference material on DVD or CD or in dedicated pay for or free password accessible web sites out there which can be placed on the network for staff to access on this subject.

The product should show the botanical genus, species, subsp, var. cv, and common names etc. with coloured images of the plants generally and with if availabele bark, trunk, leaves, flowers, etc.

We are aware of “PlantFile” and of CSIRO’s “Eucalid” software so we are seeking any others out there for use in a networked office environment with a number of potential users.

Source and contact details and cost if any would also be useful.

Lets hear from you all soon.
