ING Web Site Updated

[Ellen Farr]

A new Web interface is available for the ING (Index Nominum Genericorum) database (generic names for plants). Speed is much improved and new options for searching and reporting are provided. The full ING record will be displayed if fewer than 100 records are found. Otherwise a list will be returned and one or more records can be selected for display of the complete record. The database can now be searched by family, author, or the name/basionym of the type. The help file on the new search form and the introduction on the ING home page give additional search tips and describe the limitations of the ING database.
     The new URL for the Web version of ING is http://rathbun.si.edu/botany/ing/ingForm.cfm. Your suggestions and corrections are welcome. Contact information is available on the search page.
