Hi Josephine - I added the following genera to the checklist this morning:

Cathestecum
Dichaetophora
Egletes
Ellisia
Emorya
Enemion (Please note we have an entry for Isopyrum biternatum already in PlantFiles: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1519/index.html and the USDA lists it as a synonym of E. biternatum.)
Enneapogon
Eremochloa
Erucastrum

Echinomastus is already in PlantFiles

Thank you very much Terry.
Josephine.

Hi Terry,

May I please request the Genus Aphananthe (Ulmaceae) be added to the list.

Thanks! :-)

Mike

Josephine, I added the following genera:

Echinopepon
Enteropogon (and Dinebra, one of its synonyms)
Eucrypta
Eustachys
Facelis
Fatoua
Fendlerella
Fleischmannia
Florestina
Flyriella
Fryxellia
Giliastrum - although we already have an entry for Gilia incisum, which the USDA lists as a synonym: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/79033/index.html


Mike, I added Aphananthe at the same time.

Thank you Terry, I have a few more please.

Hi Terry,

May I please request the Genus Adenocarpus (Papilionaceae) be added to the list.

Thank You,

Mike

Josephine, I added

Glinus
Guajacum - but we already have many entries with its variant spelling (Guaiacum) here: http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=guaiacum&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search including one for G. angustifolium, so please hold off on adding that entry.
Later today, I'll check through my references to see which spelling is preferred.
Guilleminea
Halimolobos
Isocarpha
Halodule (and its synonym Diplanthera)
Halophila
Isoetes
Janusia
Jefea
Karwinskia

Mike, I also added Adenocarpus at the same time.

Thank you very much, Terry.
Josephine.

Thanks Terry,

Here's another. May I please request the Genus Sinofranchetia (Lardizabalaceae) be added to the list.

Thank You,

Mike

Mike I added Sinofranchetia for you. Josephine, it seems the USDA's database is temporarily down so I can't see the genus names. I'll try again later in the day.

Josephine, I apologize - I meant to circle back and re-check the USDA site later that day, but I failed to do so, and it slipped my mind until today. I've now added the following:

Krapovickasia
Laennecia
Landoltia
Launaea
Lepidospartum
Leptopus - however, I believe this is a synonym (?) for this entry: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/113114/index.html If we need to shuffle around basionyms and synonyms to update the entry, that's fine - just let me know what has been changed by the taxonomists and we'll make it happen.
Lepuropetalon
Leuciva - but I think it's a synonym (?) for this plant: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/82052/index.html Ditto above; just let me know if we need to edit the basionym, or if you can just fill this in as a synonym.
Lenophyllum
Leucospora
Limnodea
Limnosciadium
Lipocarpha
Loeflingia
Logfia - but we have this synonym (?) already in PlantFiles: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/130186/index.html - please advise what - if anything we need to change; otherwise, you're welcome to add the synonyms to the existing entry.
Lycopodiella

Thank you Terry, you were right, I just used the existing link.
Josephine.

Terry,
On Aug 11 you said that you had added the family Alseuosmiaceae and the genus Wittsteinia to the list, but when I try and enter Wittsteinia vacciniacea in the Alseuosmiaceae it tells me that:

Ken, I added it to as a genus, rather than family (it's a pull-down list to choose one or the other, and I was in "genus" mode, I guess!)

I'm so sorry - I've changed it now, so you shouldn't have any more problems getting the system to recognize it as a valid family name.

Terry, could you please add these to the plants list?

Terry, I know that I just gave you a long list to put in, but I really need this one;

http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SCBA2
Thank you very much.
Josephine.

Josephine, I just got back today (I've been out of pocket most of this week.) I added Scleria for you, and will add the others tomorrow afternoon. I apologize for the delay!

Thank you Terry, you very nice.
Josephine.

Josephine, thank you for your patience. Today I added these to the checklist:

Loeselia
Lycurus
Macrothelypteris
Malacomeles (Please see note below)
Mancoa
Margaranthus
Meximalva
Microchloa
Milla
Mitracarpus
Mitreola (and Cynoctonum, to make it easier to add the synonyms)
Monanthochloe
Monolepis
Mortonia
Myagrum
Myosurus

Note regarding Malacomeles: We have an entry for Amelanchier denticulata: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/113105/index.html This is listed as a synonym of this plant on the USDA site. Please advise which is the proper, current basionym and we'll update our PlantFiles records.

Terry, Mancoa, Margaranthus, and Monroa, didn't take, could you please try again?
Thank you,
Josephine.

I'm sorry - it looks like those went into the family section instead of genus. I've changed them so you should be able to add them as genus names now without any more problems.

Thank you Terry.

Terry a few more please.

Terry,
Australian orchids have undergone a recent major revision that has resulted in the introduction of a large number of new genera, for example, the original genus Caladenia has now been split into
The genera that were once Caladenia are:
Caladenia (retained for some species)
Cyanicula
Ericksonella
Petalochilus
Pheladenia
Praecoxanthus
Stegostyla
Arachnorchis
Drakonorchis
Jonesiopsis

Could you please add all the above genera to the list and I will in time update the names of the species in Plantfiles. I will let you know if there are any that I cannot adjust.

I will also later give the names of other new genera (of which there are many).

Ken

Ken I added the following genera to our checklist:

Ericksonella
Petalochilus
Pheladenia
Praecoxanthus
Stegostyla
Arachnorchis
Drakonorchis
Jonesiopsis

(Caladenia and Cyanicula were already in the checklist.)

Josephine, I'll be working on your list momentarily.

Josephine, I've also added those in your list. I'm sorry I didn't post the list of names, but my computer froze up about 2/3rds of the way through (and a couple times after that), so I finally gave up trying to reconstruct it here.

I want to reiterate my concerns about creating more empty entries, along with my plea to add the synonyms as you create the entries. (Adding synonyms is quick and simple, and will avoid duplicate entries.)

Also, if you can spare a few seconds you can add at least the category (grass, annual, perennial, tree, shrub, etc.) - that will put you one step closer to completing these entries when you come back to add the rest of the details. And will give others a tidbit of helpful information in the interim.

I will do my best Terry, and I am sorry that I have caused extra work for you.
I tried adding synonyms today and I think I messed up a bit, but I am trying, also I have added some basic facts to the plants that I posted this afternoon.
Josephine.

Hi,

Could you please add the genus Polylepis (Rosaceae) to the list.

Thanks :-)

No problem - Polylepis has been added.

Josephine, there's no need to apologize - this is part of what I do each day ;o) As we've discussed, my concern is that having a slew of empty entries can be a serious impediment to users trying to get information from PlantFiles.

And speaking from personal experience (I probably still have a few empty entries floating around myself), it's much harder to bring yourself to go back and fill them in later than it is to do them "as you go."

Terry, could you please add

Ammocharis coranica

Thanks.

Hi Wallaby, sorry I didn't see this last night but I have now added Ammocharis to our checklist.

Please add Diastema vexans (gesneriad) Thank you!

Diastema has been added - thanks!

Terry,
could you please add in the Rosaceae:
Schizonotus

and in the Brassicaceae:
Arabidella
Pachymitus

and in the Saxifragaceae:
Leptarrhena

and in the Goodeniaceae:
Verreauxia
Velleia

and in the Stylidiaceae:
Forstera
Levenhookia


Thanks,

Ken

Hi Ken, the following have all been added to the genus checklist:

Schizonotus
Arabidella
Pachymitus
Leptarrhena
Verreauxia
Velleia
Forstera
Levenhookia

Terry,
could you please add the genus:
Rhytidosporum
and its synonym
Marianthus
to the genera for Pittosporaceae
Ken

Ken, I added both:

Rhytidosporum
Marianthus

to the checklist, and double-checked to make sure Pittosporaceae family was already listed.
