[Taxacom] APG III genus list

Dear all,

Out of interest I decided to check the first ~20 plant genus names commencing with a random letter ("P") as in my present IRMNG list (which has been aligned roughly but not exhaustively with APGIII, also does not contain the synonym status of many non-current names as yet) with equivalent data in the following databases/print sources, to get an idea of the relative coverage / family assignments / included synonym statements of each:

  Index Nominum Genericorum (ING) - online version
  TROPICOS - online version
  IPNI - online version
  GRIN - online version
  The Plant List: - online version
  Mabberley, 2008 (hard copy)

I also stumbled on one name in Mabberley I did not have so have included it as one of the 20 (Pachyacris Schltr., also in IPNI), which I have subsequently added to my list for better completeness. (Note, much of my initial IRMNG data was sourced from ING which may explain the similarity in author attribution with that source).

The results may be of interest (note, coincidentally a few orchid hybrid names are included in this subset, which some systems ignore to a greater or lesser extent. Also presumably, if a name is listed in TROPICOS or GRIN without mention as a synonym or otherise invalid name, presumably it is considered current. I have not commented further, readers may care to draw their own conclusions. (Note also, neither ING nor IPNI give taxonomic synonyms/judgements). Here they are:
