[Lexicog] scientific names for sub-Saharan Africa?

[Troy_C_Moore at SIL.ORG]

The Manza-English-French dictionary that I am working on includes
scientific names as well, and coincidentally, plants (and insects) were
the most difficult to find.

Your website, Susan, is great, but is there anything similar for
sub-Saharan Africa?

Peace to you and yours, Troy C. Moore

Linnaean        classifications in MDF


I'm tracking scientific names in the Karuk dictionary, and we've got
entries
for which the scientific names were acquired in the 1950's and earlier.

I know that some names will have changed since then.  I'm interested in
hearing your thoughts on using some of the new online databases such as

PLANTS National Database http://plants.usda.gov/

or

http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/interchange.html


Thanks,
Susan
