Thanks Ron! I found this very useful, but wanted quick access to it so I created a link on the OrchidTalk home page and developed a new page here in the forum that can be used to search the checklist. This way members and visitors to the site can search Kew from OrchidTalk or if they choose, can visit the site directly through the link to Kew's Home Page. I hope this helps everyone!

Search Kew's World Checklist from OrchidTalk.

Cheers,
BD

You type in the the species and genus and you get the info. It is a good research tool. You can also bring up a full list of a genus, accepted and non accepted names, by typing in just the genera name. The database here is live and updated daily but sometimes it can take up to a year, after a paper is published, for it to be added to the database.

Hope you find this helpful
