Jeffrey knows that effective wetland management requires field work,
policy decisions, and good staff support. "My staff assistant uses
The Compleat Botanica to inventory the plant species known to exist in
our mitigation projects. Together with our part-time biologist
they identify and track the invasion of unwanted species."

Q: Does the botanical name have to be in every specimen list?
A:
No. As a reasonable first guess, new filters start out with the
botanical name as the first column of every filter. This is entirely
optional.
If you choose a different item to replace it, you will have a
surprisingly different looking specimen list. This is because the
first item in the filter is always displayed in the prominent top-half of
each specimen row. This position does not scroll left and right with
the rest of the list, but stays fixed to the left-hand side of the list.

Q: How to find plant names.
A: Looking for a hard to
remember name can be frustrating, especially when you're not an expert
in botanical names. The software provides several ways to search for
names, each useful for different searching problems.
If you know a plant by its common name, use the list of vernacular
names.
If you know part or all of the botanical name, you can use either the
vernacular name list or the Find facility of the
taxonomic checklist.
If you're certain that you have a specimen record for a particular
name, you can use the
Find facility of the specimen view. See the full story.
