Hello
Does anyone know of a downloadable database of plants similar to PFAF?
Thank you
Large online floras have the advantage of not only having details and often photographs and illustrations, but also being (more or less) definitive, that is, botanists will refer to them.
See my answer here for links to examples, and also for some of the problems with using floras (e.g. not easily downloadable).

Hi,
I’m looking for free resources of plant database. Basically any set of botany-related data where I could run SQL queries. It’s for studying / teaching purposes. Thank you 🙏🏻
