Genus/family checklist additions here

As many of you know, PlantFiles uses a checklist for all new entries to check for genus and family names that have been reviewed and validated.

This new thread is for any PF user to request an additional genus or family name not already on our checklist. (The last thread was getting a bit long ;o)

If you include a family name, please note whether it needs to be added to the checklist, or if you're simply including it for reference.

Thanks Terry .

Need to add Pterodiscus. thanks

Pterodiscus has been added!

Terry,
could you please add the following genera:

in Epacridaceae:
Lissanthe
Pentachondra
Prionotes
Richea
Sphenotoma
Sprengelia

and in Proteaceae
Orites


thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

I've added them to the accepted list for you.

Joan

Thanks Joan!!!!

Hi Resin,

I did notice that some of our sources were using Ericaceae, but some of them were still using Epicaridaceae. I made a note of it and we'll research it further once we get caught up with some of the other family changes we are working on.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

Joan

Please add the following Genus and Species:

Family - Rhamnaceae – Buckthorn family ** Reference - Rhamnaceae is already listed **
Genus - Reynosia Griseb. – darlingplum
Species - Reynosia septentrionalis Urban – darlingplum

Native to Florida - Status: Threatened

-- A shrub to small tree with a full rounded growth habit --

Thanks! :-)

Hello Terry ,
I have searched high and low for all the details on this Tree .
I can only get 3 out of the 4 requirements .
The Tree is called a Eucalyptus Codonocarpa ,
Commonly called a Bell-Fruited Mallee .

CHudnall, I've added Reynosia to the checklist.

Kell, you should be able to add any Eucalyptus species to PlantFiles without running it past us here - the genus is already in the checklist. If you run into any snags creating an entry, be sure to double-check the spelling of the genus and family names, as those are the fields that trigger a system check.

Terry I tried and got this message .

It looks like you might have a space in front of the E in Eucalyptus, it's hard to tell for sure though.

I think ecrane is correct. Try typing it in and make sure there aren't any extra spaces.

Yes thank you it worked .
And Pics are loaded .

Thanks Terry :-) -- Christine

Kell, I have looked up Eucalyptus codonocarpa in the Flora of Australia and the Flora of New South Wales. The Flora of Australia has it as Eucalyptus approximans subsp. codonocarpa, with Eucalyptus codonocarpa as a synonym. The Flora of New South Wales has them the other way round.
I have added what details I can based on the two floras. One small correction that I cannot make, the species name is always in lower case, that is Eucalyptus codonocarpa NOT Eucalyptus Codonocarpa. If you created the entry, you should be able to amend it. If you open this page: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/163818/

you and only you, should find near the bottom of the page a link

Thanks Mate .
I'll give it a try .

No Worries .
As usual , You Saved MY day .
I have 10 Pictures waiting in a Queue .
It was very exciting for me to finally photograph these trees .

I have been going to this exact spot for 46 years
and never knew anything about them .
It was not till I hooked up with you and DG my eyes were opened .
Kell

Hi Terry ,
I have done the research on this .
Acacia venulose .
http://www.catalogueoflife.org/show_species_details.php?record_id=591759
What did I do wrong ? Kell

Tried this From another link:
http://zipcodezoo.com/Plants/A/Acacia_venulosa.asp

Hi ginger749,

We no longer use the Fabaceae family in PlantFiles. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/413338/ We use the subfamilies instead. Therefore Acacia would fall under the Mimosaceae family.

About the Acacia genus, I can find reference to Acacia venulosa, but not Acacia wattle. You might want to double check which species you are trying to add.

Joan

Thanks Joan ,
I'll give that a shot .
I'm a simple Photographer trying to share My Pics with every one here on DG .
All these New to yall Plants just grow wild all around me .
If I can take some interesting Pic's of them and share , My joy is complete .
All this gobbledygook name calling is a little beyond little ole me .
Maybe all this wisdom comes with age ?
Maybe I’m just to young to understand ? :o)

Well Joan that didn't work either . groooowl
Time to take some more Pics . TTFN

Use Mimosaceae as the family and it should work... I think when JoanJ referred to using subfamilies as families, the family suffix -aceae is used.

Thanks Claypa ,
It worked this time .
Let's see how long it stays ?

Terry,
could you please add the following genera:

Eupomatia


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


Thanks Kell

Eupomatia has been added to the checklist - you should be able to create an entry without any further problems!

Thank you sir .
Cheers Kell.

ummmm.....ma'am will do ;o)

And you're very welcome!

Oops Sorry ,
Why does Ken refer to you as a ~boy~ ?

The Family is also not there ?
Eupomatiaceae:

I only get these two options .
Eucommiaceae or Euphorbiaceae

I've added Eupomatiaceae as a valid family as well.

As to the other....guess you'll have to ask Ken ;o)

Cool , Thanks .
Kell

When did I refer to Terry as a ~boy~ ?

In the previous Forum to this .
I'll find it and come back .

Might take a while to find it .
Kell

By the way Ken , I found my mystery Plant .
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/164634/
Pics not there yet .

Hi Ginger,

Kell,
all the Acacia's, that is all the Mimosoideae get entered in the family Mimosaceae.

Ken

Thanks Resin & Ken .
Yes it went straight through .
Went and Climbed Mt Barney yesterday .
Most of the flowers are finished .
But lots of new seeds I have not noticed before .
