Custom Categories

The Compleat Botanica uses custom categories to organize your botanical specimen into groups that make sense to you.  Each category, whether it's life cycle, stature, best uses, desirable qualities, or adverse qualities can be defined to accept your set of predefined groupings.

And each of these categories allow for free-form entry and one-time exceptions when data just don't fit into the normal groupings.

Botanical spell-checker

The botanical name spell-checker works just the way you expect.  Misspellings are highlighted with a red-wavy proofreader's mark just like your favorite word processor.  Valid names are suggested in the accompanying drop-down combo-box.

The spell-checker uses a checklist of 26,334 genus names, 54,662 species epithets, and 23,227 sub-species and varieties.
