Title: Chez Marco's Botany related URLs pg 1
An extensive list of URLs related to systematic botany, biodiversity, ecology and biological fieldwork.
Completeness is not the aim, content and quality is. European sites are especially encouraged to present themselves.
This page deals with "botany proper", the next more with "field biology", though the separation line is rather arbitrary.
A filled circle flag is used for sites that are not in English. See the
Key to Symbols
for an explication of all the dingbats
