I just linked this site in a post to our new member, Angelus:
http://www.henriettesherbal.com/bio.html
The site has a User's guide, and it's worth reading. There is a lot more on the site than what can be accessed from the home page. One way to find it is to use the latin name of the plant, like this: I know hops is humulus lupulus, so I type http://www.henriettesherbal.com/plants/humulus.html
Then I click the button "lupulus", and I get
http://www.henriettesherbal.com/plants/h...pulus.html
two pages full of links to what is on the site on hops. There is one blog entry, 15 beautiful pics, and 30 scans of classic herbalist books. It doesn't go back as far as Rembert Dodoens' "Cruydeboeck" of 1554, but it really covers a lot from 1828 to 1947.
