Orchid Genera change to category

[edit]

I personally think the page will be too long if we list the orchid generas look at orchidspecies.com there are over 2000. I suggest making it into a category separated by families and sub families --Cs california 09:37, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New version

[edit]

I'll be working on a new version in my userspace at User:Circeus/Sandbox/tree. It will include more information (e.g. systematically include authors, abbreviations, some comments). I'm not sure yet whether I want to include former genera, though. I'll be working on a separate list of hybrid genera. Circeus (talk) 00:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of natural Orchidaceae generaList of Orchidaceae genera – The vast majority of lists of genera per family have the proposed structure. It is unclear why this should be different with the Orchidaceae, or what the List of ¨unnatural¨ Orchidaceae genera would contain Dwergenpaartje (talk) 09:44, 14 February 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.Ammarpad (talk) 10:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Updating the list

[edit]

What is the best workflow to check Kew's list? Currently wikispecies contains 704 accepted genera while Orchidaceae says there are 800 and Flora Online counts 905. Kew's checklist only returns a list of species, not genera.

@Frdp: If by "Kew's checklist" you mean the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, this is, I understand, based on the same underlying database as Plants of the World Online, which does gives a list of accepted genera. See here. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:33, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Peter coxhead: Thank you! I was using Kew Science for some reason. Frdp (talk) 20:36, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Frdp: actually, if you look both the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP) and Plants of the World Online (PoWO) are labelled "Kew Science", although the URL for PoWO doesn't show it. WCSP can give more information than PoWO (e.g. a count of the number of species in each genus and distributions), but you have to use the "Build a Checklist" feature to generate lists. Also there are so many orchid genera that the list can only be generated in sections as the full list exceeds the search capacity. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:38, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
