UGS 302: The Hidden Treasures of Plants (Clark)

Background Information

Get Started

Use this part of the guide if you need to know the scientific name of a plant - or an alternate name for a plant. Many times, research articles that you need for your paper only use the plant's scientific name.

The following resources are here for you to locate basic introductory information on a plant, such as the scientific name or alternate names or spellings, and to find terms/vocabulary that can be used as keywords in your research. These resources are meant to prepare you for further research and should not be used to find sources to cite in your paper.
