This is really cool. From there one could have links to each plant mentioned, which would then be further connected (maybe the same sort of concept??) to specific organisms it relates with. Or, clicking on a specific plant one could generate this sort of page for specific locations? I just love the way this allows for regional differences. I think for the first time I "see" what the database might look like.
Cheers, Heide
