Botany in Science Fiction Group
Robert Hayes, Ed Norris, and Carmen Sikes

 We are going to create a website that gives a summary of botany in science fiction, and also a discussion of science fiction works that deal with plant life.  Also we will provide links to any relevant sites and lists of books used and discussed.
 What has been found on the web (what is listed below) is very random at best.  There are small blurbs on science fiction and botany but nothing that gives any real information to someone who is very interested in the subject.  We hope to create a site that consolidates all the information we can find, so that anyone looking for botany in science fiction material can find it in one simple site, or links to other sites.
 Since there is barely anything on the web for botany in science fiction, we intend to put up as much information as we can.  The only restriction we can see is the lack of material that can be used.  This doesn't mean we can find any content, but that what we find will all be "doable".
