Great site, already bookmarked for future use. The one thing I REALLY
miss is an export or download option for references in RIS format for
easy importing into Reference Manager or other similar packages.
Please, please, please?

Kew Gardens has released an update to our information resource
discovery service called ePIC, the electronic Plant Information
Centre. From the ePIC interface at

www.kew.org/epic/

you can now search for plant information across 11 databases held
at Kew, and also our web site, in one action. This release adds the
World
Checklist of Monocotyledons to the set of resources which are
available. For
further information about these resources, look at

www.kew.org/epic/datasources.htm

The checklist currently provides synonymy and distribution for four
families:
Acoraceae, Araceae, Arecaceae and Orchidaceae, but will eventually
cover all
of the Monocotyledon families. It is also accessible directly from our
website at

www.kew.org/monocotChecklist/default.jsp

Taxacomers are invited to try out the service, and please let us
have your comments by email to epicfeedback at kew.org. Thanks,

Mark Jackson
