Family names in Chklist
De-listed families and family re-listings
Some Controversial Points
UKT: Though USDA-NRCS is listing Asparagus officinalis in the family Liliaceae, Chklist has listed it in Asparagaceae. Since Chklist is "revised from the original works by J.H. Lace, R. Rodgers, H.G. Hundley, and U Chit Ko Ko, on the "List of Trees, Shrubs, Herbs and Principal Climbers, etc. Recorded from Burma" , http://persoon.si.edu/myanmar/index.cfm. I have given it precedence over others.

Main Index of DB |
Top
Family name index
Contents of this page
Entry format: Botanical name Family
UKT: Caveat: Family names given by Myanmar authors and Chklist sometimes do not tally. I became acutely aware of this problem while listing entries under L (See Labiatae). This situation is very unfortunate because Chklist "was revised from the original works by J.H. Lace, R. Rodgers, H.G. Hundley, and U Chit Ko Ko, on the 'List of Trees, Shrubs, Herbs and Principal Climbers, etc. Recorded from Burma '. "
In case you cannot identify the family from the scientific name, you can access the database from USDA-NRCS which is in the form of a notepad file in the TIL library: USDA-NRCS-data
Note: It may take quite a while to open the USDA-NRCS-data file.

Family: Alliaceae 2 entries
UKT: The family Alliaceae was part of the family Liliaceae. And, some botanists (e.g. USDA-NRCS) continue to list the Allium species under the family Liliaceae. However, others have moved them to Alliaceae (e.g. Chklist). Since Chklist is a revised ed from the original works by J. H. Lace, R. Rodger, H. G. Hundley, and U Chit Ko Ko, MMPDB-2006 has adopted the classification of Chklist.

UKT: It is very frustrating to check with Chklist, because family names given by Myanmar authors and those given in Chklist sometimes do not tally. This section is to help me over that frustration.
UKT: Since the ink-on-paper book was available to me only for a short time, I have been using Chklist by going online http://persoon.si.edu/myanmar/index.cfm.
In case you cannot identify the family from the scientific name, you can access the database from USDA-NRCS which is in the form of a notepad file in the TIL library: USDA-NRCS-data
Note: It may take quite a while to open the USDA-NRCS-data file. At present I am not sure in what format the USDA-NRCS-data that I have in the TIL library is. I will presume that it is in the given below:
Symbol - Scientific name - Common name/Accepted name (for synonyms) - Family.
TAAR7 - Tabebuia argentea (Bureau & K. Schum.) Britt. - Tabebuia aurea - Bignoniaceae
-- http://catalpatreeseeds.com/CandyPress/Downloads/PLANTS-Database-T.txt It is important to note that Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiosperm_Phylogeny_Group ) has re-classified many families, and there may be differences between their classification and that of Chklist. However, MMPDB has followed the Chklist classification given below.
The totals shown for each region also include the 1394 taxa in 640 genera from 170 families which are reported only at the country level. -- Chklist

UKT: The family Alliaceae was part of the family Liliaceae. And, some botanists (e.g. USDA-NRCS) continue to list the Allium species under the family Liliaceae. However, others have moved them to Alliaceae (e.g. A Checklist of the Trees, Shrubs, Herbs, and Climbers of Myanmar (Chklist)). Since Chklist is a revised ed from the original works by J. H. Lace, R. Rodger, H. G. Hundley, and U Chit Ko Ko, MMPDB-2006 has adopted the classification of Chklist.

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to two international groups of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants that would reflect new knowledge in angiosperm relationships molecular systematics. Two papers resulted from these collaborations, commonly referenced as 'APG I (1998)' and 'APG II (2003),' and were largely attempts to deal with the deficiencies in prior angiosperm classifications (Cronquist 1981, Thorne 1992 and 2001, Takhtajan 1997) as seen by phylogenetic theories based on analysis of DNA.
