> Fellow aroiders,
> 
> As some of you know I have a "secret" life as taxonomist of
cultivated
> plants and have been developing some new ideas in this department
as well as
> cooperating in writing up the Cultivated Plant Code. Recently a
paper was
> published in the Horticultural Reviews (vol. 28) of which I am
co-author.
> This paper was initiated by and is first-authored by the Chief
Potatoe (or
> was that "potato"?) Taxonomist of the USA, dr. David Spooner of the
> University of Wisconsin (where last year an Amorphophallus titanum
> flowered!!!! I suspect a conspiracy here........). Together with
him and two
> other Dutch colleagues we wrote a review paper on plant taxonomy
from a
> horticultural perspective and behold, you can get this 60 pages
(AUCH!!!)
> paper for free on the internet when you follow the link:

> 
> On that page click on "read exerpt" and you get a full scale PDF
version of
> the paper.
> 
> The first half of the paper deals mostly with more general
taxonomic
> principles and terms, the second half deals more specifically with
the new
> ideas of the taxonomy of cultivated ("domesticated") plants. This
paper may
> not be everyone's beef of this discussion list but I know some of
you are
> interested, so have fun with it.
