Motivation[edit]

The Montana Plant Life (Q123558951) currently features 250 species in 42 plant families, with over 1,000 images, and an information database with close to 1 million characters. Each presented species has a page with pictures and full description and, if applicable, information about edibility, medicinal and poisonous properties. The site includes edible plants, medicinal plants and poisonous plants with sub-categories for edible roots, poisonous berries, etc. Choices can also be made for displaying introduced vs. native plants and weeds. Each presented plant family has its own page with a description of its unique characteristics plus a plant identification guide with pictures, short descriptions and links to the species that belong to it. While not a complete list of all Montana plants, this is still a useful information source for the families, genera, and species included. AdamSeattle (talk) 01:00, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
