University of Connecticut Plant Database

Dr. Mark Brand of the University of Connecticut offers this multimedia plant database, which features many of the plants found on college campuses in the northeastern US. Designed with a horticultural flavor and featuring many exotic ornamental species (as well as some natives), the heart of the site is the hyperlinked lists of plant names (common and Latin), with associated species accounts. Each account provides information on habitat, habit and form, seasonal foliage colors, flowers, fruit, bark, ID features, landscape use, cultivars/varieties, culture and liability, and propagation. An added feature of the site is the virtual "campus walks" section, of use to students at the University of Connecticut. This Website does not attempt to highlight the native flora of the northeast, yet serves a different, still useful educational purpose: to teach students how to identify plants in the immediate campus environment.
