"Jean says . . ."

As staff botanist at her botanical garden, Jean has always taken the time to be methodical in her research and identification of new specimen.  With The Compleat Botanica, Jean can create specimen labels that precisely identify a specimen with her database entry.  "There's too much at stake to leave it to chance," says Jean.


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.

 Frequently Asked Questions
 

Tips . . .


Q:
  How to create new specimen records.

A:  There are three ways to add new specimen records to your collection.

The first way is to find the appropriate botanical name in the taxonomic checklist and press the create new specimen button located in the bottom right-hand corner of the view. This works best if you know the true botanical name.

The second way is to search the vernacular list for the common name of the plant, then press the create new specimen button. This works well if you're unsure of the proper spelling of the botanical name or if you only know the common name.

The third way is to press the new specimen button at the bottom of the specimen list. This works best when you know the full botanical name of the specimen to be added. See the full story.
