[Aroid-l] FW: Scanning Anthurium revision by Engler

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2010.01.08 at 22:53:40(20450) AROIDERS: Although many of you may have already been aware of it I just discovered today that several of Engler's Das Pflanzenreich volumes have been scanned by the University of Madrid (I saw both the Pothoideae and Philodendroideae). You can download all or part of it as a pdf, I think.

All of the massive amount of content available on this site will be incorporated into the Biodiversity Heritage Library www.biodiversitylibrary.org site sometime in the near future. That will help centralize the scanned protologues and at that point we can link directly from TROPICOS as well. Until then the interface on this site from Madrid will allow you to download a PDF of the entire work or one of any selected pages. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any help navigating the Madrid site. Doug `````````````````````````````` Douglas Holland Library Director Missouri Botanical Garden P.O.

I'm cc:ing Bob because I'm not exactly clear on what you're wanting to accomplish, but I do believe that everything you outlined is already possible within Tropicos/Botanicus. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Tom Croat Sent: Wed 1/6/2010 3:25 PM To: Chris Freeland Subject: Scanning Anthurium revision by Engler Dear Chris: Could we possibly get Engler's Das Pflanzenreich IV. 23B, Heft. 21. 1905. scanned for Botanicus? This volume is mostly Anthurium and is the latest revision of the genus and one that we use all the time. I am trying to make it possible for my volunteers who are using the Lucid Anthurium key to be able to compare their findings with the original description, the original type specimen, etc. Do you know if specific protologs will eventually be visible in Tropicos? Or is it already possible? Can one down load any specific page from Botanicus or is this a pdf that can't be dealt with. Until it becomes possible to see all the various elements (ie. Protologue, type specimen, selected paratype, live plants, etc in a single place I would be like to put them in to a single file. I would appreciate your advise.
