valleylynn said:Lori, I see I have a lot to learn when it comes to Draba, Arabis and Androsace. And it only makes it more difficult when plants are sent with incorrect names.
What would be a good place to start researching these plants?
Well, there's never any single source for all the plant info one might want!
If I'm trying to find out about a particular species, I usually start by googling... but one must always be aware of the large number of misidentified plants out there and try to go with more reputable sites (i.e. where species identities have been verified).
If I'm trying to distinguish species in a genus or distinguish between similar species, I try to find a key... not always easy to find.
If you want to browse genera or check out particular species, here are a few good sites (there are many others):
