The site, in 2006
An online checklist from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, of accepted scientific names and synonyms for selected plant families.
It grew from Rafaël Govaerts's 1990s checklist of oaks. Kew's site opened in February 2006 with 106 families and covered 173 families of seed plants by 2013. It closed in October 2022 and its data moved to Plants of the World Online.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
