TDWG descriptors working group

[RICHARD PANKHURST]

The Taxonomic Databases Working Group meets to try and set standards
for data in systematic biology.  The descriptors working group is
working on a standard for lifeform descriptors in plants e.g. herb,
shrub, tree, and...???  Anyone who is not on the TDWG circulation
list and who would like to receive frm me a copy of a draft essay on
how to describe life form, please contact me.

Yours
