New thread for Genus/Family checklist additions

Don't try and add it as a new entry, it is already there! I found it easily by searching for Eryngium yuccifolium

I did that...it wouldn't come up...that's why I tried to add it.

It is here: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/783/index.html

Mel, can you recreate the problem? (I couldn't from my end.)

It's working now.

What i did was go to the advanced search and type in Erygnium yuccifolium. It came back no results. I checked spelling, because I figured it should be there, and my spelling was correct. I backed it out and re-typed it, making sure that I'd used the correct lines...and re-checked my spelling. Still no results.

So, ok...thought I'd add it. Went and did that. That's when I got the admin message about the genus needing to be added...went and re-checked my spelling to make sure that it wasn't the culprit...but no...still no go. That's when I posted here, stating that either the genus needed to be added or possibly the plant has been re-classified and my info wasn't up to date.

I'd really suspect my spelling in this instance, but I checked it carefully at all points...it was correct. Don't know...one of those little cyber hiccups...it sure wouldn't work for me last night.

Could you please add the following genus to the database?

Bauera (I've found the family listed as both Cunoniaceae and Baueraceae...the latter isn't in PF so I'm guessing it's a narrower classification that's not recognized by everyone?)

I've added Bauera as a valid genus; I'm not sure which way to advise you on the family, though....

Bauera is listed in my "Flora of Victoria" as in the Cunoniaceae.

Searching on the net, Cunoniaceae was much more common and I found in this site: http://chemlife.umd.edu/emeritus/reveal/PBIO/pb450/rosi01.html
the statement

Thanks Terry for adding and thanks Ken for the info--I will add it under Cunoniaceae.

Please add these to the plants list;

Thank you very much.

Terry,

A few more genera and families to add please:

Family: Donatiaceae (needs adding)
Genus Donatia

Then in the Rubiaceae:
Genus: Leptostigma
Genus: Opercularia
Genus: Pomax

Genus: Wittsteinia
which is variously placed in the following 3 families:
Alseuosmiaceae 233
Epacridaceae 204
Ericaceae 155
The numbers after them are the no of hits when searching the web for the genus and family together!!! The Flora of Victoria the only state in which it grows places it in the Alseuosmiaceae, but if you choose that one you wll need to add the family as well!!

in the Cunoniaceae:
Genus: Anodopetalum
Genus: Bauera (I think you may have just done that one)
Genus: Callicoma
Genus: Pseudoweinmannia

Thanks Terry,

Ken

Josephine, I added the following to the checklist:

Dicranocarpus
Didiplis
Dioclea
Ditrysinia
Dryopetalon
Erioneuron
Eubotrys
Genistidium
Glossopetalon
Gossypianthus
Gymnosperma
Gymnopogon
Gymnostyles
Haplophyton
Hedosyne
Hedypnois
Helietta
Herissantia
Heterosperma
Hilaria
Holosteum
Hymenoclea
Hymenothrix

Florestina (syn. Palafoxia) was already in the checklist, and is in use in PF - please be sure to check for synonyms on this (and the others) when adding. Also be sure to list the synonyms for these plants, and any details you can - at least category (annual, perennial, shrub, etc.) and any other details - bloom color, time, height, etc.)

Ken, I added the following families to the checklist:

Alseuosmiaceae
Donatiaceae

And the following genus names:

Anodopetalum
Callicoma
Donatia
Leptostigma
Opercularia
Pseudoweinmannia
Pomax
Wittsteinia

Thank you both for your patience, and please let me know if I missed any!

Thank you very much Terry, I will check those out.

Could you please add genus Memecylon (Melastomataceae) to the list?

Thanks!

Memecylon has been added to the checklist.

Hi Terry,

I was wondering why the genus xSinocalycalycanthus was pulled?
http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/136980/index.html

Hi AnniesWeePlot,

I've added X Sinocalycalycanthus to our checklist (note the "x" that
designates its intergeneric status.) You shouldn't have any problems
creating an entry but if you need more help, please let us know!

Happy Gardening
Terry

Thanks,
Annie

I discovered there were two entries (ironically back-to-back) for this same cultivar. (I remade the duplicate into an entry for another cultivar: http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[common]=&searcher[family]=Calycanthaceae&searcher[genus]=Calycanthus&searcher[species]=raulstonii&searcher[cultivar]=&searcher[hybridizer]=&Search=Search )

What I found when I researched this one a little further (after finding the duplicates) is that X Sinocalycalycanthus is apparently still up for debate among the taxonomists, and Calycanthus raulstonii is currently preferred as the basionym.

I thus moved X Sinocalycalycanthus to synonym status on both entries. This one will probably be revisited as the taxonomic community continues to hash out the proper nomenclature.

Ah... yes, I saw that one go in.

Shucks. And I was all excited about finally getting a new Genus in. (wink) But... point acknowledged.
I'll be curious to see the outcome.

Thanks & Take Care,
Annie

Terry,
Another new family and a couple of genera to add please:

Carrierea (Flacourtiaceae)
Dipteronia (Aceraceae)
Cudrania (Moraceae)
Tetracentron (Tetracentraceae)

For verification: http://vancouver.ca/PlantCollection_wa/index.cfm

Thanks!

Ken, I've added

Gyrostemonaceae (family)

and the following genera:
Codonocarpus
Tersonia



growin, I've added

Tetracentraceae (family)

and the following genera:
Actinodaphne

Hi Terry,

I wish to add:

Junellia (Verbenaceae)
Microcachrys (Podocarpaceae)

For verification: http://www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/garden/ (under quick search)

Thanks!

Phillyrea was already on the checklist.

I've added Junellia and Microcachrys

Terry,
I just tried to add Notothixos subaureus in the Viscaceae, but it was rejected although you said up above that you had added it to the list.
Rather strangely it asks me"

Sorry terry, but another genus I requested on 2nd July above: Brunonia in the family Brunoniaceae is also being rejected (and again offering its name Brunonia as an alternative.

Could you please that genus Brunonia in the family: Brunoniaceae is in the list,

Ken

Ken I apologize - apparently when I entered them, I copied/pasted them into the field, and inadvertantly placed an extra space in front of each name as it was entered. I've now edited them to remove that extra space, so you *shouldn't* (crossing my fingers) have any other problems trying to enter them. (I'm reasonably sure they were the only two that had that problem, too.)

Terry, Could you please add the genus Mitragyna?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kratom

-Greg

Mmmm, sorry Greg. We have historically avoided those plants which are associated primarily with narcotic or psychotropic effects. Yes, there are plants in PlantFiles that are (mis)used for illicit/illegal purposes, but our critieria is whether or not plant is widely cultivated for ornamental value, and therefore is grown for legitimate purposes by everyday gardeners.

Terry,
I requested Brunonia in the Brunoniaceae up above on Jul 2. When I tried to enter into PlantFiles today, it told me the family was not known. Could you please add the family: Brunoniaceae

Ken

Ken, it's been added - I must have overlooked it the first time around.

Hi Terry,

Could you please add:

Glyptostrobus (Taxodiaceae) ref-http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Glyptostrobus+pensilis

Hi Growin - I added Glyptostrobus this morning.

Terry,

Could you please add the Genus Comesperma in the Polygalaceae to the list

Ken

Comesperma has been added.

Hi Terry,

May I please request the Genus Schima (Theaceae) and Phoebe (Lauraceae) be added to the list.

Thanks!

Mike

Mike, they've been added.

Terry,

A request for the Genus: Guizotia .. in the Family: Asteraceae .. to the list, please ?

Magpye

Guizotia has been added - thanks!

Hi Terry,

May I please request the Genus Sycopsis (Hamamelidaceae) be added to the list.

Thanks!

Mike
