2.3 IMAGE DATABANKS

iNaturalist - repository of photos from different authors validated by peer recognition, rarely from herbarium, which includes animals, plants and fungi from all over the world; source of rare images and some unpublished on the open search of Google with searches allowed at various taxonomic levels and even by popular names! It has the disadvantage of, in some groups, an excess of samples cultivated in gardens and orchards.

SpeciesLink - remarkable Brazilian database dealing with animals, plants and fungi with records in herbaria or not; the search can be refined by living material and botanical family, which leads to incredible images, a good part of photo libraries, some of species that are not seen on the open internet - since the images on the platform are not traceable by Google. It rarely includes cultivated, garden, or anthropized types.

NEOTROPICAL PLANTS - IMAGE DATABASE KEW - images of various groups, mainly taken in Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais (but also Panama, Bolivia and Peru), organized by family; a disadvantage is few images per species, sometimes just a detail of the plant.

Flora de Santa Catarina - excellent work that has been showing the world a surprising diversity in this beautiful Brazilian state; many images with low contrast; includes many species in anthropic environments. It has already supported botanical publications

FLORA DIGITAL DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL - records of plants collected in Rio Grande do Sul; unfortunately most are of poor quality.

FLORA DIGITAL DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL E SANTA CATARINA - blogspot apparently abandoned, with many records of plants from southern Brazil.

Álbuns de Alex Popovkin - very detailed collection of numerous plants (and also animals) from the Atlantic Forest in northeastern Bahia, some of excellent quality. It has already supported botanical publications. 

Flore de Guyane - from French Guiana; some images with unfavorable lighting but on average second best page to view after SpeciesLink; offers the invaluable advantage of chronologically organized posts.

La Chaussette Rouge - one of the richest easy-access pages in the French Guiana Amazon; navigation without bureaucracy, but not chronologically organized. 
 
Guia Igapó - brings many records of plants collected in the upper Rio Negro, Amazonas, but few bring the plant in a natural environment, and it seems abandoned.
 
Paraguay Biodiverso - light and remarkable page with beautiful records from the Chaco country; it sins for having many unidentified taxons. 

Fotos de Flora Nativa e Adventícias de Uruguay - showing with high quality several species from the neighboring platine country; brings records in Uruguay of three families that do not occur in Brazil: Polemoniaceae, Montiaceae and Papaveraceae.

2.4 TROPHISMS

Ladim - site about Brazilian carnivorous plants, from USP university. 

2.5 PHOTO CATALOG

Phytoimages - spectacular in natura photo catalog, although not synced with APG IV. 

PlantSystematic - very similiar to link above.

Flora of the World - shows pictures of plants from all over the world, organized by family. 

Ukrbin - page of Ukrainian origin, brings many excellent images from various parts of the world, especially E Europe, but few in South America. 

Botany.cz/Venezuela, Roraima - several images for plants of E Venezuela region. 

Roraima Tepui - some images of plants in Mount Roraima in Venezuela.

2.6 EXPEDITIONS

Bromeliário Imperialis - promotes expeditions in eastern Brazil, especially in Bahia state; good source of Bromeliaceae images. 

Vertical Garden - Patric Blanc - one of the largest panels of beautiful botanical images in existence; focused on species in their original habitat across the planet.

Expedição Fitogeográfica - makes expeditions throughout South America, especially in the Center-South region of the country; little precision in species identification.

Fábio Colombini - a remarkable album of extremely beautiful Brazilian landscapes, but it does not have identifications and seals the images with an immense watermark.

VIRBOGA - brings many interesting images from around the world; in the case of Brazil, it has a great focus on the Northeast, but includes many anthropized records; also has a watermark.
