Here is something that might interest some folks on the plant list.
The attribution is probably incorrect, but I am not to blame. The
article had been forwarded multiple times before I found it.

>The Aquatic Plant Information System (APIRS) is now online, 24-
>hours a day. The 41,000-item database about freshwater macro-
>phytes is the largest of its kind, and since 1981, it has been
>used by thousands of various users [see BEN 87 --- 5-January
>1995]. The users had to write or phone to the APIRS office in
>Florida and the APIRS office performed their data base searches.
>Now users may use the database by themselves, searching it in
>whatever ways they see fit. Use of the database remains free of
>charge.
>
>The APIRS is available through the Internet as a World Wide Web
>site:
> http://aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/
>(or you can telnet directly to 128.227.242.241). After following
>the sign-on procedure (logon as "guest" - no apostrophes - and
><return> for password and another <return> for the default
>terminal), you may search the database in myriard ways: search
>by keyword, author, date, citation, plant species, etc. [I found
>that it is rather tricky to sign out. To end the search press
>return in the search mode, than enter Q twice. You will get the
>system's $ sign. Enter "exit" - no apostrophes - to disconnect.

>The Centre for Aquatic PLants welcomes reprints from research-
>ers. Authors can search the database for their name (use
>lastname$ - $ will take care of initials, etc.) and send any-
>thing not already listed. The address is: Center for Aquatic
>Plants, Aquatic Plant Information Retrieval System (APIRS),
>University of Florida, 7922 N.W. 71st Street, Gainesville, FL
>32606, USA.
>
>The Aquatic plant World Wide Web site
> http://aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/
>offers a variety of free and for-sale products and services.
>Besides the APIRS database you can access line drawings of
>aquatic plants, high resolution photographs of aquatic and
>wetland plants, etc. You can contact two aquatic plant Extension
>Specialists and link with other sites of interest to botanist
>and aquatic plant ecologists. The APIRS office is planning to
>develop an interactive "short course" about aquatic and wetland
>plants as part of this Web site.
