POWO now contains all Vascular plant families and is now 97.8% complete for species names. 

Worth trying by entering a search.  Appears to be better than the Plant List.

Thanks Tapas sir for the valuable & useful information.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

However, a mere compilation only. Accepted names and synonyms need not be taken for granted.

Some improvements such as images and references can be noticed.

I did not find it of much use to me. If distribution is any state in India, I think it shows whole of India in the map.

I am not able to see the diversity of the family, i.e. how many genera and how many species? Is it available in the site?

I think although numbers are not provided, one can see the genera under a family and species under a genus, by searching on it.

[Ushadi Micromini]

Dear all:

this site gives you the whole thing at your fingertips

i think i am going to love it

and so will new people and old people who can look up the salient points to phpotograph i think, i may be wrong

but thats what i think just yet.

steps: 

1: go to the site by clicking on the link Tapasda gave

you get a one line query area

2: type family 

enter by pressing the magnifying lens

you get a screen with some random species 

 but on the right upper side there is a white window with a button that says Family and hax a X next to it

3: press that x as if trying to get rid of it

next screen you get is all families  starting with Acanthaceae, there are 560 results in 24 pages

4: move your cursor to acanthaceae

a blue frame develops around it

5: move your arrow /cursor to acanthaceae and press left click once on your mouse

6: next screen comes up 

with descriptions,  images, accepted genera , synonyms. other data etc

i got  201 accepted genera for this 

scroll down

to find some more data

OR 

I punched on Hypoestes 

got  description

some salient features photos 

distribution in world

accepted species

i randomly picked hypoestes lanata

and got to see the four herbarium specimen pictures they have  in their database

i went back to acanthaceae

picked justicia

then j adhatoda

and got to see the painting commissioned by  william Roxburgh

and several herbarium digitized 

and some references

see if you like it

can be fun 

and informative

tell me how you did with my steps

good luck 

usha di 

ps remember this is just related to african flora yet

Thank you Usha di. 

Much improved than its precursors but the nomenclature issue is based on literature only.

[Ushadi Micromini]

Very interesting! 

did you try my steps?

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Yes. This website is far better than the others, keeping aside IPNI which is the replacement of Index Kewensis.

[Ushadi Micromini]

i am glad for your positive feedback

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Ushadi, for more details. 

[Ushadi Micromini]

did you use the steps

Yes Garg Ji. I have tried and reached to same conclusion. The number of genera (given as accepted genera) is available on the page of family but total number of species in a family is the problem. One has to total all accepted species in all genera of a family to reach this number which is difficult in larger families. The Plant List was more convenient for such data and I am accustomed to it. Familiarity with POWO will take a little time.

One more thing- now they have images with names; the power of images for identification is realized.

Dr Rawat

point well taken

the plant list is still active

the new site is just africa related

not world wide

so has its limitations

but i liked access to old pairings and herbaria 

in addition to some examples of photographs

-

i dont think the plant list site disappear

 we could peruse both

cant we?

but id is not just comparing images

its the taxonomic keys

dissection of flowers

leaves

veins

habit

etc

and its a new site

give them time

8 years ago if someone expected our forum to be everything it is now, 

could we have met  their needs for photos?

and we are still evolving
