Hovering over an image will enlarge it and provide commentary (works better on desktop than on mobile).
Clicking on a particular plant will lead you to more information and/or photographs:
A camera indicates there are pictures.
A speaker indicates there is a sound file demonstrating pronunciation
of the botanical name.
A plus sign after a Latin name indicates that the species is further divided into varieties or subspecies.
