"Pedro  says . . ."

Pedro has been meticulously crossing roses for years and has gotten good enough to win some show awards.  "I like The Compleat Botanica because I can record my trials and errors with the precision I need."  He's able to keep his notes organized even when everything else seems to be falling apart.

Did you know?


Q:  Why doesn't the entire list of specimen show up when I change filters?

A:  The number of records that appear in the specimen list can be quite large.  In order to reduce the time it takes to build and display the list, its size is artificially limited when you first display a new filter.

This artificial limit can be increased or removed all together by using the Customize settings . . . area.  see the full story.

Tips . . .


Q:
  The software provides several ways to search for names, each useful for different searching problems.

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. Type the common name in the search field and press the search button.

If you know part or all of the botanical name, you can use 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.
