[Taxacom] Completion of 'The Plant List'

[Vijay Barve]

Dear Bob,

This was something we (specially non-botanists) were eagerly waiting for.
The resource is amazing. I am sure it will be used widely. We appreciate the
efforts of KEW and MBG for the same.

Just a curiosity question: What are the strategies to sustain this effort ?
on in user perspective Should I start linking my database to this one ?

Regards,

Vijay Barve
