NewCROP index part of the Center for New Crops & Plant Products, at Purdue University is an amazing collection of commercial plant information. From Macadamia nuts and qinghao to Tumbleweed and Sweetgrass a broad range of plants are detailed. The information that is included for each ranges from a single paragraph for Quackgrass to dozens of internal and external links for Soybeans. Crops are listed both alphabetically by genus and common name. Warning: Web .95 navigation

I like Web .95 - easy, clean, and faster than burnt coffee.

Pretty interesting stuff... perhaps I'll try to plant a macadamia nut tree in my Mom's back yard.

I've always found GLYCINE MAX to be the most badass of the agricultural latin names.

Tumbleweeds are good soap fodder? and efficient fuel? Tremendous! (and they all blow onto the same fence after drying i.e. easy harvesting!)
