| 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 has helped us cut down on duplicates and errors.
This new thread (continued from here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/808785/ ) is for any PlantFiles user to request an additional genus or family name not already on our checklist.
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. |

| Are we no longer able to add new species to the PlantFiles? I searched for Eriodictylon parryi, (aka Turricula parryi) and found no results for either name and no option to add it to the database. |

Kell, we've had an edit in place that compares the family and genus fields of new submissions against what is already in PlantFiles; a de facto "checklist" of confirmed names (they may fall in and out of favor with botanists but we've at least confirmed the spelling of them.)
Did you mean Eriodictyon (no "L")? if so, it is in the checklist already.

| Yes, eriodictyon. The genus is there but I would like to add pictures of the species Eriodictyon parryi. The species is not in the database. |

| I am totally stymied when attempting to list some orchid plants. I need someone to tell me exactly how to list them. Here are two examples of properly labeled orchids that I don't have a clue how to list on Plant Files:
1. Bc. Mount Hood 'Orchidglade' x Lc. Maui Treasure 'Lavender Sunset' AM/AOS
2. Pot. Exotic Dream 'Orange Passion' x Pot. (Waianae Legacy x Waianae Majestic)
These two are simply examples of many, many other orchid plants that defy listing. I need help so that I can list my orchid plants on "Plant Scout". Ken |

ken, there are some orchid experts who can help you (I am keenly familiar with the structure of PlantFiles, but I confess the nomenclature of orchids stymies me)
However, this particular thread is for requesting new family or genus names to our checklist. Would you mind starting a new thread in this forum, and I'll tug on a few sleeves to see if I can get you some assistance? |

| Could you please add the genus Sclerostegia to the approved list. It was in the Chenopodiaceae, but is probably now in the Amaranthaceae. The plant I want to add is Sclerostegia arbuscula.

| Terry, I am sorry but when I went to add the plant, I looked it up first and found that the genus name was chamged in 2007. It is now known as Tecticornia arbuscula. Could you please therefore add the genus Tecticornia in the Amaranthaceae to the checklist. When I add the plant, I will also add the other name Sclerostegia arbuscula as a synonym,
