I was searching details about a Corydalis and have found this database, may be some of you already know it.

Looks great, I already open it. I like it when species have pictures taken in the wild; thanks!

Indeed a useful and welcome site.  Further tips, on any given subpage, it shows a list of species, some have photos, some don't. Be sure to click on the species name (a link) on those pages, often there are more photos available for that species, this is true even for those species that don't show an initial image. Example, click on Allium sikkimense to get to a subpage listing a group of Allium (or other plants nearby alphabetically), there's one image of Allium sikkimense, click the species name, and there are dozens of more images.

Very good to finally see images of certain Allium species, like A. henryi; I keyed a plant I received years ago from Chen Yi (mislabeled as usual) to be Allium henryi, and the photos on this site validate it, a species for which there were no images available for years.  But be careful, there are some mid-identifications on the site too, at least with Alliums that I looked at. Example: the initial single of Allium tuberosum isn't, but click on the name link for lots of images of correctly identified tuberosum.

This is a great website I have used for a while. It is not only Allium with misidentifications. In Disporum, Disporopsis, and Polygonatum there are a lot of them. I expected this is not the exception, but rather the norm in many cases.

It is very nice for getting see things in the wild though that are otherwise not present elsewhere on the web.

When there are differences in identification, who decides?

[astragalus]

Excellent source, many pictures of astragalus species in the wild - never seen seed available but maybe some day.

[Afloden]

You can suggest a proper identification after signing up, but I have not seen many images change their placement yet.

[Laerksporre]

I took a brief look at this page. At least half of the Corydalis pictures are wrong.

So, maybe not such a useful link = In which case they may need your help, Laerksporre 
 Interesting ,nonetheless, if it brings discussion and  aid.
