One may call this my "blog" but I have never liked this word. My activities on the WWW started in 1995 and have all along been focused on the discovery, the classification, and the naming of useful plants in 70 languages. I have published the resulting material on line ever since. Many "bloggers" will know me as the guy behind the now well known MMPND because they quote me often enough. Many scientists and plant enthusiasts also are very familiar with my work. It is rewarding to know that one is working for others with similar interests. This has increased greatly lately when I joined flickr. A pretty well organized community of people getting together via photography. Its combined potential with the work going on at the MMPND is mind blowing.

 The base server of the M.M.P.N.D. is experiencing difficulties lately. Sometimes the foreign fonts get displayed correctly, sometimes not.  In order to see all letters with diacritics displayed correctly, please make sure the word "new" (bolded in the example here) is part of the URL.  < http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/new/Sorting/List_bot.html >. This :  < http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/List_bot.html >  is not displaying correctly.

Working files can also be accessed on the M.M.P.N.D. mirror site  < http://www.ars-grin.gov/misc/mmpnd/List_bot.html > 
 

Here are some sites holding my material that work well. I am especially impressed by the Yahoo database hosting flickr. My photostream < http://www.flickr.com/photos/33341718@N08/ >   there is under the name "Seeds n Plants Bloke".  

I can see the potential for a combination of my work on flickr with the M.M.P.N.D project <  

http://www.ars-grin.gov/misc/mmpnd/List_bot.html >. The two examples below for instance point in  that direction.

I haven't yet organized an e-mail address for people to talk to me. Those keen enough can contact me via these 2 sites.

Here is what I am trying to achieve and preserve in terms of nomenclature.
Here is an example of horticultural note  related to the nomenclatural work and another here < http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/new/Sorting/CATALOGUE/EGGPLANTS-intro.html >.
