Hi Bill
Does Lu's database just contain registered plants or NR plants also.
I guess the reason I asked the guestion about using species names was
to find out why they do it that way, what are the rules which I never
did find out. Your saying it was because they were found in the wild and
Marvin's answer that they used to be done differently both make sense.
With almost anything new it is always evolving and that is probably what
is happening here. It isn't always clear to people though because when
people send photos in more than half never use the species names for
ones that are named using it and I am sure an equal amount never find
what they are looking for in the library when named with species names.
Plus it is the biggest pain to have to remove a plant from one section
and add it to another, alot of searching for and deleting files.
