Also, if you want to check on a particular species, rather than browsing
through the various pages, enter the species in the dialogue box that
appears at this URL:
http://www.fna.org/cgi-bin/cgiwais
It will instantly tell you if that family/genus has been done: hypertext
links are provided for family, genus, and species decriptions; also maps
and illustrations.
If work on a taxon has not been finished, you will get links to FNA
newsletters, which include the following information plus much more: the
schedule of publication and progress of future volumes, which treatments
(family descriptions etc.) have been finised, and a list of which
taxonomists are writing which family/genus treatment, etc.
If work on a certain taxon has not been started yet, you will get a
message indicating no links.
This is an indispensable link for plant taxonomists. Have fun.
