Need help with plant identification?  Web sites with good photos can often be helpful with plant identification, especially to confirm a suspected id or quickly eliminate a way-off incorrect one.  An important caveat is that many things on the internet are misidentified.  Always double-check with other references.  Click here for a list of a a few recommend sites.
