The site now features
* a web based demonstration of a Lucid interactive key - just click the
play button
* an illustrated glossary to select genera of sedges, grasses and orchids
* fact sheets to accompany all genera listed above
* many high quality images
* Google interactive mapping for distribution data



Sincerely,
