> The FoxNews story is a fascinating read for its misplaced emphasis > and omissions of fact. Quoted from the press release by MBG and Kew: "The Plant List includes 1.25 million scientific plant names, of which 1.04 million are names of species rank. Of the species names included in The Plant List, about 300,000 (29 percent) are accepted names for species and about 480,000 (46 percent) are recorded as synonyms of those species. The status of the remaining 260,000 names is “unresolved” since the contributing data sets do not contain sufficient evidence to decide whether they should be accepted names or synonyms." http://gardennews.biz/?id=3081 Mark Mazer Hertford, North Carolina USA Zone 8
