Notes

This genus provides an opportunity to reinforce a point made a few times previously.

Comparing compilations from 2 different perspectives. It illustrates the futility of listing transcriptions alone. Original scripts are vital when identifying a plant. If the botanical name is given as well 90% of the work is done, add a transcription or two and the plant identity is truely captured.
