Wow, Cavan, how do you keep up with all this??!! Great job, thanks for doing it!

Cavan Allen

Thank you.

Functionality update - It's now possible for me to enter synonyms for plants; searching for Tonina will also bring up plants that were formerly listed as Tonina (Syngonanthus) and so on. Additionally, when viewing the page brought up by that search, hobby synonyms - valid scientific names or otherwise but not common names - will be visible below the name (also in the entry itself). This doesn't apply to entries that don't have another entry of the same genus under which they were listed previously (technical reasons). For that, or for anything else you can't find, please make use of the new search feature. Description (what's in the text of the entries), synonyms and name are all options. The aim of all this is to make the Plant Finder more user friendly. Let us know what you think.

Limnophila repens 'Mini' - new photos of flowers and emersed growth.

Staurogyne sp. 'Rio Araguaia' - new photos of flowers and an inflorescence. Note the differences between that and Hygrophila. I'll start a thread describing some of the differences soon.

Marsilea spp. per request (spp meaning multiple species) - text. For now anyway, we feel it's better to treat them as one until we can get some definitively identified material of different species. A photo should be up in a bit.

Hyptis sp. - AKA Lamiaceae sp. and Hemigraphis traian (a bogus name). I've known the genus for a while (with the help of some specialists) but didn't want to change it too many times. A species name should follow soon assuming I or someone else can get it to flower again. I sincerely hope the search function and synonyms help with any confusion. Identifying this one has been a very challenging and gradual process.

Rotala sp. 'Colorata' - emersed growth. I've seen it listed as R. indica, but it sure doesn't look like it so far. R. rotundifolia is more likely.

Thanks Cavan.

I'd love to supply another writeup or two. Any interest in having one for Lagenandra meeboldii? I have enough experience with it now that I should be able to put something useful together.
