Our evaluation of these sites is indicated with stars : ***** = extreme value, **** = almost excellent, *** = fair, ** = room for improvement, * = Good for a few words, no star = not yet evaluated, and comments are added at the end of samples of sites' content. Please note that this is a very biased evaluation made from the standpoint of specialists in name handling. Many sites are specialised primarily in one or several things whilst their listing of names are understandably given lower priorities and consideration. This is not an evaluation of the sites but of their serving of names only. The list is in order of author or site names. "Search in page", command "F" or command "G" can be used to search for a word, a language, or a name. Can't find it ? Try any of our indexes for language-specific dictionaries and translators. Due to problems with some languages and diacritics some reference names can only be displayed on these language-specific pages.

Our comment : No authority names to taxa & often the taxonomy is restricted to the generic level. Dutch names appear reliable but others less so. Beautiful photos but they tend to be spoiled by copyright related names and symbols. Many cultivars are displayed but names do not always match them.

Our comment : an excellent site obviously run by a modest person. Many claim the "Complete this", "All about that", "The Encyclopedic this", etc. This site is called the "incomplete guide" and yet is one of the best covering its subject. Certainly very good as far as names are concerned.

Our comment : better class of dBase reference. Very comprehensive although specialised in "woods". Particularly outstanding with Spanish words which are specific to each Latino-American country & with botanical names and their synonyms. Please note that the 2 examples purposely selected here are not matched.

GRC

Our comment : better class of dBase reference. Very comprehensive although covering a relatively small corner of the globe. Botanical names and synonyms are very well covered. Corresponding common names are often missing, but over 1100 are mentioned already. Much data is duplicated in other CNIP databases.

Nom commun: Achillée millefeuille, Herbe aux coupures, Herbe au soldat, Herbe au charpentier.

Our comment :

GRIN
Our comment : Generally excellent, except when bamboos and palms are concerned when it becomes only good! (simply because it does not list some species, even some genera). Particularly useful to track down botanical synonyms and authority names. Has a few common names and plenty of references for most species listed. Nicely complemented with IPNI and others. For one of the foremost taxonomic references, a little deficient in the area of synonymy in the sense that binomials are used instead of trinomials, increasing the confusion. See KM.

Our comment : each entry is excellent. We found too few of them.

IPNI
Our comment : Taxonomy only. Complements nicely the USDA GRIN database when tracking down botanical names.

ITRANS
Our comment : when we look back at all the work we have been able to do in the last few years whilst Unicode is being implemented and universally accepted, we can only be grateful to Avinash and others like him who place higher values before economical profit. The billions of dollars accumulated by the giants of the IT world would have done us absolutely no good at all during that time. For one thing we cannot afford their equipment, and they would not grace us with any funding at all.

Kars
A good effort by the community of Karlsøy (as we can gather) at presenting its flora to the world. Covers only 125 species but each is well illustrated and botanically labelled although the authority names are missing.

KH
Our comment : an unusual database in its raw data form to enable importing into other databases. Tends to be limited to herbs / medicinal plants by nature of the site. One problem is lack of authority in botanical names, the other is that accents are often lost due to the equipment used. text files, databases and PCs have always been poor handlers of such things. See sister file on Polish names attempting to remedy to this.

Our comment : this synonymic index is often vital in understanding some relationships erroneously stated on works confined to binomials. For example saying that "Ornithogalum angustifolium = Ornithogalum umbellatum" (a typical relationship in many taxonomic lists including some such as GRIN) is not the same at all as saying that "Ornithogalum angustifolium = Ornithogalum umbellatum var. angustifolium". One allows for linguistic work to follow, the former not only prohibit linguistic development but it also further confuses an already very messy nomenclatural world. A few more French generic names and an extension to world species would be fantastic.
