What is the best website to try to identfy plants and leaves?

I need the best website for identifying plants and leaves. It has to be very descrptive.

What is the best website to try to identfy plants and leaves?
It is always best to use a field guide because they are usually regionally specific and are sorted to make it easier to identify to species. But since you are asking for a website I would suggest http://plants.usda.gov/ becuase it is the database for the plants found in the US. You can do an advanced search using region, state, common names, or (Characteristics data) ie: descriptive features, etc. There are also a ton of pictures.
