The days of measuring with cubits are long gone, but
that doesn't mean we've completely eliminated the Babel surrounding measurement
units.
The Compleat Botanica allows data to be recorded, displayed, filtered, and
sorted using both the metric system and the U.S. Customary system. This
applies to linear dimensions (metre/centimetre or feet/inch), units of volume (litre
or gallon), and temperature scales (Celsius or Fahrenheit). Date
formatting options allow for all common variants of month, day and year.
The botanical checklist contains entries for plants from around the world.
