Website?


Question Posted Wednesday May 9 2007, 3:26 am

Is there any website that you can put in information [description] .. to find the name of flora and fauna?

I've got this biology project to do.. and we must take pictures of plants and animals.. put it on a page with their scientific name and the name of the animal/plant

But there's some plants.. that are REALLY hard to find the name of.
There's this huge bush of small yellow flowers.. by this marsh/bay place. When I put yellow flowers bush in google and change it around.. I find nothing.

How can I find the names of these plants/animals?


Here's a picture-

I've tried putting the name of the park I visited in Google to see if someone made a list of plants/animals.. but I have had no luck

Hello there,

Once I figured out the Alviso was a town, then that Alviso was a town in California... I started a search for "Alviso flowers" then "Alviso Yellow" which landed me one interesting result with no picture.

So what are the yellow flowers growing in the marshes of Alviso California?

only search advicenators.com


... as far as I can tell, it is one of two types:

"Grindelia Stricta"

... or:

"Grindelia Camporum"

... so if you go to the search box above, and then switch to image search, I think the mystery of the yellow marshy-swampy flowers in Alviso California will be solved. :-)

Interestingly enough, they also appear to have several benefits as healing herbs from what I read while looking them up. Just a side note.

Let me know in feedback if this is the answer you needed, since I can't see the plant in person it is hard to tell.

Oh, and the common name of the plant is "Gumweed."
