I agree with Bob entirely on the subject of database vs. text
document. Searching, sorting, cross referencing to genera and even
species, that all cries out for a relational database -- or a spreadsheet
with multiple tables.

Although it sounds like a good idea, it could be very unwieldy without
creating some sort of database. I have a list of references for the Iris
encyclopedia I am working on that is over a thousand entries and that is
but one genus. The other problem is Floras and such are going to contain
many Genera. Would you create a huge list of Genera and species mentioned?
It seems one would have to create some sort of guidlines.
