I have begun normalizing and regularizing wiki references to families and genera. The "Families" page and the new "Index to Genera" page contain the results of my efforts so far. I am quite certain that the lists of both these pages are incomplete. That is, they do NOT contain the names of all genera and families mentioned or discussed in the wiki. For example, I prepared the list of genera by simply doing a text search on "genus" and transcribing the names. The end result lacks, inter alia, _Zephyranthes_, which is ridiculous but unavoidable given the semi-automated way by which the list was created. Contributors to the wiki are asked to review these pages and supply any omissions they are aware of. References to generic and family names which are either (a) now obsolete and universally disused in contemporary horticulture literature or (b) proposed by botanical boffins but not yet accepted in the horticultural literature can be handled by entering the name in the relevant list, but linking to the page for the currently accepted family or genus name. If you are not a contributor to the wiki and do not wish to become one, but have noticed omissions on these two pages, please reply to this message (either on-list or privately) with the gory details. I or some other contributor will undertake correction of the wiki. Please note that at the present, the question of which genus goes into which family remains a contentious one. Generally speaking, the PBS wiki honors the classification recommended by APG II, but there may be errors or omissions in this respect. For the moment, I do not propose to undertake correction, normalization or regularization of such mixups. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
