Can't add a new Genus

Thanks Baa, it works fine now.

Two more genera to add please!
They are Dasypogon and Kingia. There seems to be a lot of variation on the family they are in. The Flora of Australia has them both in the Xanthorrhoeaceae but some web sites list them as Dasypogonaceae.
I will leave you to decide their location,
Ken

I've just added Kingia and Dasypogon to the list, I also added Dasypogonaceae which seems to be the current family. :)

I would like to add the following plant Harpullia arborea (family Sapindaceae).

I've added Harpullia to the list for you Kelli, you should be able to add it now.

Another genus to add please:
Callistachys in the Papilionaceae

Another that should perhaps be added is:
Catapodium in the Poaceae. I tried to add Catapodium yesterday unsuccessfully, but then trying a search for ferngrass, discovered that Catapodium rigidum is also known as Desmazeria rigida. I therefore added Catapodium rigidum as a synonym, but perhaps Catapodium should also be an acceptable genus name?

Ken

Hi Ken. Callistachys and Catapodium have both been added ;o)

Terry, could you please enter some new genera to the PF;
Cajanus - Fabaceae
Otaara - Orchidaceae
Aliceara - Orchidaceae
Vascostylis -Orchidaceae
Howeara - Orchidaceae
Rhynchostylis -Orchidaceae
Thanks again!!

These have been added. Please note that your requests posted here may be handled by any of our PF Admins, not just me (that's a good thing, since I'm not always here - even if it seems that way *grin*)

I just noticed one of the new genera added was Rhynchostylis. There has been one entry in the Plantfiles from this genus for a long time: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/105333/index.html

Hmmmm. The comparative list didn't double-up when I added Rhynchostylis tonight, so I'm not sure how that happened...

That's strange because when I looked it up it didn't come up as being in the PF. It isn't the first time it happens though.

Well, the older entry came up for me here: http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=rhynchostylis&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search

Even a small transposition error could have thwarted the search engine, though...

That is true. I may have typed it incorrectly. My apologies.

I had trouble entering the genus Cajanus because the family Fabaceae is not in the list of families. I understand that the family Leguminoseae is no longer used and it was split into Fabaceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Mimosaceae and Papilionaceae. There are differences among these families, but I'm no expert so I don't know the exact differences.
Should I enter the genus under Papilionaceae then?
Thanks again!
jnana

Cajanus falls under Papilionaceae. Here's a "cheat sheet" that Baa put together to show which family to use for all ex-Leguminosae: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/413338/

Thanks Terry. I will enter it under Papilionaceae. In the classes I've taken this sort of stuff gives me a big headache LOL.

Would it be possible to add the following genera to the database?

Heteropterys (Malphigiaceae) I have also seen it spelled Heteropteris in a couple places so I'm not sure which one is more correct.

Lonchocarpus (Papilionaceae)

Petteria (Papilionaceae)

Rafnia (Papilionaceae--I think. All I could find on the web was that it's in Fabaceae but looking at the flowers/leaves I think it falls in this group)

Moussonia (Gesneriaceae)

Painteria (Mimosaceae)

Thanks!

They have all been added (and I agree Rafnia is most appropriately placed in Papilionaceae.)

Thanks Terry!

Sorry to bother you again--I had no trouble adding plants in most of these, but Rafnia still doesn't seem to be in the database.

Thanks!

Sorry about that - I think I got in a hurry and replaced "Rafnia" with the next addition before it was fully submitted.

Please add to the list:
Family: Celastraceae
Genus: Canotia

Thanks.

Canotia has been added!

Heres another one to add please:
Family: Apiaceae
Genus: Lilaeopsis

Thanks.

Please add to the list:
Family: Apiaceae
Genus: Lilaeopsis

Thanks.

It was added the other night - I just forgot to come back and indicate it had been added, too.

Here's another you can add: Koeberlinia (of K spinosa or Allthorn, a TExas native plant)

Koeberlinia has been added!

I've tried to add a new plant, but I couldn't get it to work..

Common name: Kratom
Family: Rubiaceae
Genus: Mitragyna
Species: speciosa

I have one in a large pot here at home.

Kem79, I did a quick web search, and found that the references to this plant are focused stricly on its use as a narcotic. We tend to focus on gardening/horticultural plants (grown mainly for ornamental or culinary uses) within PlantFiles, and leave the ethnobotanical/narcotic plants to other databases to cover.

Thanks for the reply Terry. Perhaps this about PlantFiles could be added to one of the FAQs? I did notice the absence of a few such plants, and wondered why they were missing.

I would like to add, Genus Leucogenes please. Boots

Lem, that's a good point - I've added a footnote to the FAQ. Thanks for the suggestion!

Bootandall, I've added Leucogenes this morning ;o)

Thanks Terry

Hi. Just ran into this prob for the first time. Can you please add:

Apollonias barbujana, Lauraceae, Barbusano (Common Name)

Thanks!

Are we still able to add a new genus?

Yes, you can - and I'm terribly sorry. I've got this thread on my "watched" list but apparently when you posted your request I read it, and failed to act on it right at that moment.

I've added Apollonias as a genus - you should be able to create your entry now. Thanks for the nudge, and sorry again for the belated response time!

Oh Terry, not a problem. I wasn't sure I was doing this right. Thanks again! :-)

Need to add Lemurophoenix to the data base (and it won't let me)
