I think posting genetic info is very important for potential plant breeders. You can see if plants might be compatible to produce hybrids. However I think you may be getting into hotwater when you try to list the chromosome count of every plant. It would require someone to enter the information which can be time consuming. Plus I think we should consider that the main focus of the group is geophytes, not conifers or palms or clubmosses. I feel if you want to list the chromosome number and any pertinent genetic information it should be limited to what the group was set up to study. Just my opinion-Russ H.

Seems like they'd be of interest to quite a few.
