Are there permaculture specific plant databases out there? Anything on-line? Published? There's a wonderful appendix list of plants listed in the back of Mollison's design manual (1990 ed.), but no direct reference to where they are in the book. Is there a simpler way? Thanks for your help, Chris
Sorry I don't have a nice list for you to link to but I found https://www.greenharvest.com.au a good source of info and has most of what you would want to get started.
this is a good book if you have access to it: Permaculture plants : a selection / Jeff Nugent & Julia Boniface. Published Nannup, W.A. : Sustainable Agriculture Research Institute, 1996.
it isn't permaculture specific, but often when I do a google on plants, I come upon a purdue university site that has been really helpful. https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/Indices/index_ab.html
