Ian -- My German is rusty, too, but I think the flashing message
preceding and following the list says, "Only the first 100 plants that
match your request are given. If the plant you are looking for is not
here, try refining your request." There is no "next page" button. Nor
do I find instructions for refining the request. Aber, versuchen sie
noch! (Keep trying.) The key may be there someplace.
