Re: Aroid Database?

From: "George R Stilwell, Jr." grsjr at juno.com> on 2000.02.06 at 17:37:28(4062) Don, It's not so simple as you suggest. What do you do with synonyms, varieties, ssp., etc. +More For example, how should I enter this into your comma delimited list? Arisaema latisectum Blume = A. serratum v. serratum or A. tashiroi Blume (sensu Nakai) or this Arisaema aequinoctiale Nakai & F. Maek. = A. undulatifolium Nakai A complete list is available for Arisaema and Pinellia, but not in comma delimited form. I started to insert the commas, but ran into the problems illustrated above. When it became obvious there were too many "exceptions", I quit. A more managable list could be made by omitting all v., f. and ssp. plus all synonyms. Doesn't your palm pilot have a "find" function? If it does, you don't need a database format. The available list will do. Ray ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
