Re: CISTACEAE, Viburnums and other shrubs

I have long felt the need for a woody plant society.  As far as I know, 
there isn't one.  There is a separate society for various woody genera - 
rhododendrons, camellias, holly, magnolias, boxwood, and possibly 
others.  It gets to be expensive belonging to a separate society for 
every plant one is enthusiastic about.  The clubs I feel happiest paying 
my $25 a year to are the ones that include many genera.  The alpine plant 
societies are the best example of this, and many members grow no alpines 
at all, perhaps only woodland plants.  The hardy plant groups also 
include many genera, although not as many as the alpine societies.  So - 
is there a woody plant society already?
