I just uploaded a bunch of seeds. When I checked to see if they were in the list, I noticed something I have found to be a problem. Here is the problem and how I work around it:
A single plant may be in several places in the full tradeslist. I listed Asclepias curassavica, which I know as Tropical Milkweed. I did not list the cultivar parent because it was not in the database. Mine is now listed under "A" for Asclepias. I knew other people had listed some as well, but mine was all alone. so I used the search term "curassavica". There are actually 6 listings. In addition to "A" for Asclepias, they are listed under "S" for 'Silky Red and Gold', a cultivar name, and "B" for Bloodflower (another common name I did not know), and "T" for Tropical Milkweed. In all there are 4 places to look for this plant. There would be even more if others were listed under other cultivar names, I think.
I really wish we could choose to list under the accepted usual method of Genus, species, and cultivar or variety. If that is too hard (it might be a lot of programming work), if the cultivars and varieties could just be listed after a comma after the species or something, so they would all be together. This will probably not happen, so my workaround is- if you get confused and think you already saw a listing for a plant while scrolling through the list, try using the search box with the species name.
DND if this post should go somewhere else, please feel free to move it or duplicate it.
