I've recently decided to pursue some botany courses, does anyone have recommendations for software that would help me brush up on my biology, or perhaps software that would be relevant to botany?
 
I don't have software recommendations, but I took quite a few botany and biology courses. If you couple them with chemistry one of the biggest job markets is in pesticides (and biotoxins).

If you can deal with a job that has you killing things (whether weeds or women) then it's very very lucrative.

Yes. It's not really software per se though.

It's called Wikipedia.

Alas, I cannot think of any software that meets your needs but I can recommend a book that inspired my interest in both botany and biology.

It was written by Gilbert White in 1789 and is called "the Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne".

White is really the first ecologist, an amateur scientist who has a fine way with words and a remarkably alert capacity for observation.

When I studied botany it was dominated by biochemistry (ATP/ADP and energy equations), White's book reminded me about the integration of that knowledge in the ecosystem, although he knew nothing of biochemistry.
 
the MCAT refresher and study guides are damn awesome for this sort of thing.

I have some old ones--the "printed" format--but I imagine there are now digital versions. They are organized by subject and very approachable.
