Hierarchy definition

No classification of this project has been defined.

[edit]

Goals

  1. Describe all familes, genera and species of the kingdom Plantae.
  2. For species, describe botanical properties, distribution, multiplication, usage in medicine, usage as food, pre 17th century documents where it was mentioned ('classical documents'), tips for garden cultivation, trivia such as 'this flower is the symbol of the Yukon district).
[edit]

General strategy and discussion forums

Not yet decided. Currently there are several lists, such as:

Most use a standard taxonomy table, but is has undergone several variants, and the lists are hard to coordinate. Also, the quality of the articles varies wildly. Some are just a start, others have a decent length. This project should enable people to coordinate and discuss stuff in a more centralized place.
