Genus/family checklist additions here

Dawsonia and Legnephora have been added to the checklist.

And another Terry,

Could you please add the Family :
Peperomiaceae
Genus: Peperomia

See plant here : http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Peperomia~tetraphyllathanks,
thanks

Kell

Peperomia is in there - we currently are applying Piperaceae as the family: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Piperaceae/Peperomia/none/cultivar/0/

If it needs to be changed, one of our PF editorial team will ensure all existing entries are edited.

Kell, I have created the entry for Dawsonia superba and added my own images here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/165580/

Ken

Terry,

Could you please add the Family :
Lamiaceae

Genus: Spartothamnella

See plant here : http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Spartothamnella~juncea

thanks

Kell

Spartothamnella has been added!

Terry,

Could you please add the Genus :
Trochocarpa

in the Epacridaceae

See plant here : http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Trochocarpa~laurina

thanks,

Kell

Terry,
re; the request for Trochocarpa, this is one of many genera in Australia, until recently classified in Epacridaceae, but recently moved with all the Epacridaceae to Ericaceae.

I am suggesting, as we have many plants recorded as Epacridaceae, that we stick to Epacridaceae for this genus until such time as you decide that all Epacrids should become Ericaceae. The Flora of NSW has adopted the change recently, so that on-line all these plants are Ericaceae, but the printed version of the Flora of NSW still shows them all as Epacridaceae

Ken

Ken your suggestion sounds like a reasonable approach.

I've added Trochocarpa to our checklist as a valid genus; let's continue using Epacridaceae as a valid family name for the time being, for this and other genera.

When the dust settles, we'll see if the lumpers or splitters seem to be in the majority, and determine if we need to shift some family names.

Terry

I am trying to add a subsp. epilosus
to
Family: Rutaceae
Genus: Philotheca
Species: myoporoides

How do I do that ?

Thanks

Kell

Iit is entered as part of the specific epithet.

When you create the entry, in the species field enter "myoporoides subsp. epilosus" (no quote marks, of course)

Please add:
"Dasiphora" to Rosaceae
http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=DAFRF

TIA

Dasiphora has been added to the checklist!

Terry,

Could you please add the Genus :
Melichrus

in the Ericaceae

See plant here : http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Melichrus~urceolatus

thanks,

Kell

*Bump*

I don't think you need to bump this thread, I think Terry probably just decided to take a break for the weekend :-)

Melichrus has been added to the checklist.

Thanks Joan .

Joah

I am trying to enter Jacksonia
in Papilionaceae ,
I get a message the Genus name (Jacksonia) is not there .
According to this post by Terry http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=869692
It is there ?

This is the plant , http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Jacksonia~scoparia

Thanks

Kell

ecrane hit it on the head...I was out of pocket some this weekend (Sundays are usually my day off, although I'll pop in during the afternoon if everyone else is watching the game or napping ;o) A big thanks to Joan for stepping in!

Kell, I added Jacksonia to the checklist. The link you provided is a good reference ("map", if you will) of the families for each of those genera, but not all the names are in our checklist yet.)

Melichrus urceolatus is caught up in this recent change of all Epacridaceae into Ericaceae. The new entry has been made as Ericaceae. I believe that for consistency, until a decision is made to change all Epacrids, this species should have its family changed to Epacridaceae: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/165733/

Is there a PF entry for kangaroo paw's in general ?

I have about 10 Pic's and they are all Un-named Hybrids .

Kell

As a rule, we don't have "general" entries or allow unnamed hybrid photos...the few older entries you may see here and there are being gradually culled out.

Please add Family name :
Uvulariaceae

You will find plant here :

http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Tripladenia~cunninghamii



Kell

We have the species Tripladenia cunninghamii entered here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=tripladenia&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search

Please add The genus name : Pullea
To Family : Cunoniaceae

Kell

Pullea has been added to the checklist.

Request withdrawn .

Terry,

Could you please add the Genus: Austrostipa in the Poaceae to the list.
Most Australian Stipa species have been moved into Austrostipa. I have already modified Stipa rudis to Austrostipa rudis and added Stipa rudis as a synonym, and will be adding another Austrostipa species soon,
thanks,
Ken

Austrostipa has been added!

Ken ,

Is there a secret to getting a reply in ten minutes ?

I have waited up to two days at times .
I would really like to know ,
As I keep my Plant entry open so I don't loose all my information .
After five hours I get booted from my Internet .

Kell

Just luck, Terry does a great job looking after us, but is certainly not on full time watch over this thread. In any case we are on a completely different trime scale from hers.

I usually ask for new additions well ahead of using them. I an working through my slide collections scanning them and adding them to PlantFiles. I usually set up 100 plants that I will be scanning over the next weeks and then check which genera are already in PlantFiles and then put in a request for the missing ones. That means I am usually some weeks ahead with my requests.

I do occasionally have more immediate requests when I come across new plants. I just photographed Austrostipa muelleri, a beautiful and unusual grass, with single flowers instead of heads, spikes, racemes or what have you. I checked that a couple of days before wanting to upload the images and chanced to do so while Terry was checking this forum.

I usually add 5 images a day, and I currently have 190 images ready for uploading, so I am well ahead with all my new genera!

Ken

Thanks Ken .

It was just plain luck that I saw Ken's request (when the thread pops up on my thread watcher, I have no idea who has posted to it - when I see it's got a new post, I come take a gander.)

A couple things to keep in mind:

1) The other PlantFiles editors can also help you out with checklist additions. However, if you address your request to one of us specifically, we'll probably leave it for that person as a courtesy; and

2) I'm not likely to be around on weekends - probably less likely than some of the other editors who handle PlantFiles in their off hours. (I regularly log 50+ hours a week M-F here on the site, so I try to take off most of the day on Sunday to spend some downtime with my family. In the fall, Saturdays are also busy with football games and swim meets ;o)

So long story short...if you post a note to me after 10:00 any weeknight, I probably won't see it for 8-10 hours; if you post it on Friday night, it may be Monday before I get back to it.

Thanks Terry .

So there is a secret in a manner of speaking .

I am going to try to keep ahead of myself like Ken suggested .
At the moment I have posted all the Pics I want to post .

From now on they will be all new for me , Pics .
Also Flower season is almost over for us in Qld .
Now the fruit begins .

Cheers Kell

Could some one please add Family: Lomandraceae

Please add Genus : Tetraria
