By your ability to update in such a short time, I take it you already
have a key element: a soft copy of a table of species with indications
of which are synonyms of which.  Where do you find one of those?  All
I could find was a table down to the genus level.

With a table to the species level, I could start coding.  (That's "coding"
as in writing software, not making up codes.  (I'd also need to clear a
path to the computer at home, but I think my wife will kill me if I don't
start cleaning up that mess ayway :).))  Such a table would also
answer my recent Philodendron questions.

Thanks,
Todd
