Genera of Cyperaceae: interactive identification and information retrieval

An automated data bank of the sedge genera of the world has been developed using the DELTA system. The 122 narrowly defined genera are described in detail in terms of morphology, anatomy, photosynthetic pathways, synonyms, ecology, distribution, and classification. This paper describes an INTKEY ver...

Description
Summary:An automated data bank of the sedge genera of the world has been developed using the DELTA system. The 122 narrowly defined genera are described in detail in terms of morphology, anatomy, photosynthetic pathways, synonyms, ecology, distribution, and classification. This paper describes an INTKEY version of the data bank (available for MS-DOS microcomputers), and illustrates its use for interactive identification and data retrieval.
