Where do you find one of those? All I could find was a table down to the genus level. With a table to the species level, I could start coding. (That's "coding" as in writing software, not making up codes. (I'd also need to clear a path to the computer at home, but I think my wife will kill me if I don't start cleaning up that mess ayway :).)) Such a table would also answer my recent Philodendron questions. Thanks, Todd
