["DANA SCOTT" <dscott520@xxxxxxx>]

I will be glad to provide the botanical list I have in whichever format is 
desired. All this information is already in the archives, though I certainly 
agree that it needs organization and easy accessibility for all. In 
addition, I will be setting up a VMs web page to include the suggested 
botanical identifications, as time allows.

Regards,
Dana Scott
