Add this to your Permaculture Archives. Perhaps the organization
herein can be useful as a framework in the PC Database effort
The following PDF is a 19-page summary by Dr. James Duke
regarding an economic botany database; an appendix to the
OTA publication "Plants: The Potential for Extracting Protein,
Medicines, and Other Useful Chemicals."
It has sections that look like permaculture plant lists, etc.
It has a climate section with Holdridge Life Zones, etc.
It looks similar to an article in one of Dan Hemenway's
earlier "The International Permaculture Species Yearbooks."
