Read about how the website is structured, then choose a plant by its common name or botantical name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This website has a few top-level pages that offer advice in general terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there is a single page for each species. The species-specific pages should contain this information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The general rule is that species-specific pages have a URL that includes the botanical name (all lower case with a hyphen). So for kauri we have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201chttps:\/\/feaa.info\/wordpress\/grownative\/agathis-australis\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThe principle URL uses the botantical name because it is unique. On the other hand, some common or maori names apply to two different species (for example, there are two \u201cmingimingi\u201d). And sometimes the same species has two different common names (example here please). So the primary arrangement is to use the botanical name.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, the search feature allows searching for a plant by its common name as well as its botanical name.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nSearch by Common Name<\/span><\/div>\n\nKawakawa<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nKauri<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nKohekohe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nPuriri<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nPutaputaweta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nSearch by Botantical Name<\/span><\/div>\n\nAgathis australis<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nCarpodetus serratus<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nDidymocheton spectabilis<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nPiper excelsum<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\nVitex lucens<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nAdd a New Plant<\/span><\/div>\nOnly a few plants are on this website initially, so we need people with experience to provide the information for new plants.
