[Taxacom] We're on a road to nowhere

[Jim Croft]

Well, it works when you are looking at spore bearing species.  Stand
under a Cyathea with ripe sporangia and you really have to ask
yourself, just why aren't these damn things everywhere?  I guess the
same could be asked of marine species with a planktonic larval stage.

Often the why not question is more more interesting than the why question... :)
