Lynn, I think Dave was referring to "values" rather than "fields" in his last post. It was concerning what references we'd use after the Latin name (ITIS, The Plant List, etc)
Dave, "Unknown" fine with me, if ok with everyone else involved.
Good-o on "jump-ahead" for the pull-down.
Can get the basic list fairly quickly...tomorrow at latest. If you have time
you might see if you can drag in the list of International Cultivar Registration Authorities at
http://www.ishs.org/sci/icrali... - that would cover a lot of the specialty areas (hostas, daylilies, iris, roses, etc). Each line has a link to info about the ICRA and in that info box is the URL for the site. Is that something a bot could extract? Otherwise I'll do it manually, she said sighing.
