And now an Italian site ....... ( sorry for my earlier error!)
Acta Plantarum: Seeds and other primary dispersion units
 photo gallery built by Giuliano Salvai with images of members in Acta Plantarum
 7173 Pictures about 4406 species divided into 169 Families

Acta Plantarum website is a botanical wonder on the whole Maggi. I just need to make a short mention - it is Italian

The Forum is great as well and open without registration; I like the idea of an index for their "Itinerari botanici" ('I've traveled' on quite a few).

...please take photos of the various seed types you have, spread on 1mm graph paper to show the scale, and send the named photos to me in the first instance.
The idea will be to post them, eventually, in a special seed ID section of the forum and produce a "library" of  photos of seed likely to be found in the seed exchanges of the SRGC, NARGS and  AGS .

.....We are trying to compile a file of photos of correctly named seed to help identify true seed for packers of the seed exchanges and to let folks see if the seed they "think" they have bears any resemblence to the true type seed at all!

Maggie,

What a great idea!  I am not very talented with a camera; but I will try to help
