INFORMATION ABOUT PLANTS
Looking for information about a variety of plant life but aren’t sure where to find it or if it’s factual? Well the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has put together the database you’re looking for.
The Plants Database provides standardized information about plant life ranging from liverworts, vascular plants, mosses, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories. It includes names, symbols, checklists, images, distributional data, characteristics, crop information, abstracts, automated tools, external web links, and every reference imaginable. The information contained in the database primarily promotes land conservation in the United States and its territories, but it also encourages academic and general day-to-day use. The database was initially created to reduce government spending by minimizing duplication and making the information exchange across various agencies and disciplines possible.

The Plants Database contains native and naturalized plants of the Plants Floristic Area (PFA), which consists of North America and all additional U.S. territories. Vascular plant distributions are mapped at the state level and by U.S. county. The checklists for the non-vascular mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens cover all of North America north of Mexico.
Using the database is pretty simple. A user can utilize the Plants Database Name Search if you’re looking for single name plants or symbols and they even list symbols for unknown plants. These symbols and associated descriptive names are widely used by a number of federal agencies. However, if you’re looking for a list for an entire genus or family with synonyms, or a state, you can use the State Search for a larger list.
The USDA’s Plants Database is a terrific way to introduce yourself to plants when making decisions about what to plant in your garden. Gone with the Wind full movie
