Would you please add the family Gomortegaceae and the genus Gomortega to the checklist. Thanks.

Could you also add genus Dialium and Gymnostoma. Thanks

I would appreciate another genus addition. Dendroseris is not in the genus checklist.

Dendroseris has been added to the checklist.

Would you also add Myodocarpus to the genus checklist. Some sources list it in the Araliaceae but others place it in the family Myodocarpaceae. Thank you.

For now I made my entries under the Araliaceae. I figured it can be changed if need be. While I'm at it would you please add a few more genera to the list for me. They are: Polyosma, Robinsonia, and Stilbocarpa. Thank you.

Polyosma, Robinsonia and Stilbocarpa have been added to the checklist.

Could you please add the genus Microstrobos in the family Podocarpaceae

Ken

Microstrobos has been added to the list!

Thanks Terry, could you please also add the Genus: Sundacarpus in the Podocarpaceae

This one Sundacarpus amara seems to also have synonyms Prumnopitys and Podocarpus for the genus, but is listed as Sundacarpus amara in the Flora of Australia,

Ken

Sundacarpus has been added to the checklist!

Could you please add the moss genus Rhynchostegium in the family Brachytheciaceae
and the moss genus Ditrichum in the family Ditrichaceae.

I think the family Ditrichaceae also needs adding,

Ken

Hi Ken, I added Rhynchostegium and Ditrichum as valid genera.

I confirmed that both Brachytheciaceae and Ditrichaceae are in the checklist of families. if you have any problems, please let me know.

Trying to add Chironia baccifera

but PFs will not accept Chironia.

Thanks

Terry, how are the Plant Files kept up to date with the seemingly endless changes in classification currently going on in plant taxonomy? Is there a website that has the latest accepted taxonomy? Looking something up at the Kew site I saw that Calamintha is supposedly a "non-accepted genus", with Clinopodium being the accepted name. Plant Files still uses the Calamintha genus, as do other resources I checked out.

We have some volunteer editors who painstakingly work to keep PF updated. We are typically not quick to jump on taxonomic shifts, because sometimes they move back-and-forth, so we let the dust settle before we make a move. On any page of PlantFiles (even a page of search results), you'll see a red "report an error" button - you can click on it to let them know about possible changes such as the Calamintha to Clinopodium. They will investigate it and determine what we should do.

Please add: Antegibbaeum in Aizoaceae
http://www.theplantlist.org/browse/A/Aizoaceae/Antegibbaeum/
Thank You.
Xeno.

Could you please add the moss genus Polytrichadelphus in the family Polytrichaceae to the approved list

Ken

Could you please add the liverwort genus Tylimanthus in the family Acrobolbaceae to the approved list

Ken

It's been added.

Thanks Faeden, that was quick. Could you add another one please? This one is a Moss, genus Leptotheca in the family Rhizogoniaceae
thanks
Ken

You're very welcome. These two have also been added.

Thanks again. I have one last one having just finished poring over the microscope identifying my specimens. Could you also add the Moss Genus: Trachyloma, in the Family: Trachylomataceae. The genus was previously placed in the family: Pterobryaceae, but I am pretty sure it is now in Trachylomataceae,

Ken

You couldn't have done these all at one time? LOL!! I know, you were in a hurry.

Anyway, I've added this genus.

Thanks. I would have kept modifying my first message for each extra genus, I didn't expect such rapid responses. Sorry to make it hard for you,

Ken

Sorry, but I am back again. I couldn;t add my Trachyloma. It did not accept the family name of Trachylomataceae

Ken

HEHEHEHEHEHE! I was just giving you a hard time. :>)

I saw we had Pterobryaceae listed, but I didn't add Trachylomataceae because I missed it. I don't know why it would have accepted the Family name if it wasn't in our list. But maybe that's why it wouldn't accept Trachyloma. I've now added Trachylomataceae to the Family list. Give it another try and let me know whether or not it works now.

I'm trying to add Lasiacis divaricata of the family Poaceae but I get the "No genus" message. If you would be so kind as to add this genus.
Thanks, Scott

The genus Lasiacis has been added to our database.

Thank you for your time and effort in creating this data base. A huge job to say the least.
Scott

You're very welcome. However, the thanks go to people like Dave, Terry, Melody, Joan, and many others who originally undertook this gigantic task and have been maintaining the database for many years. I've only been involved with PlantFiles Administration for a few months.

Thank YOU for helping us to make it better!
