Index of Countries

These are the search terms that I (the web master) has used to find particular regions. My geography ain't particularly good, so if you think these are all wrong, drop us a line. Numbers in brackets are numbers of plants in this category.

Often the range information for a plant will be something like Europe to Asia . Such plants will not always appear in a sub-category. Hence it is more reliable to use the upper level categories. The most reliable categories are: Britain, Britain(introduced), Africa, Asia(W), Asia(E), Asia(China), Asia(Japan), Asia(India), Asia(Korea), Asia(Himalayas), Asia(Siberia), Australia, Europe, Europe(N), Europe(S), Europe(E), Europe(W), Europe(C), Mediterranean, New Zealand, N. America, N. America(N), N. America(S), N. America(E), N. America(W), N. America(C), S. America.

If you want to combine this search with other plant charateristics go to our advanced search page.
