[edit] Origin

This list was seeded (ha ha) from The American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants. Stan 02:53, 5 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Page size

Huge page - is it time to split it up by individual letters, or at least into four pages A-C, D-K, L-Q, R-Z? - MPF 14:55, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Doesn't seem that big to me... :-) It's not likely to get many additional entries, although it would be good to have more annotation-type text for each entry ("popular tropical succulents", etc) so that readers can get some idea of where they'll end up when they click on the link. Four pages is probably about right; it's a major pain in the posterior to manage the cross links between lots of little sublist pages. Stan 16:19, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Acca

I put Acca back, because even if it's only a synonym, it needs to be in the list at its usual alphabetic position, so that someone who doesn't know it's a synonym can find it. Especially given the brokenness of WP search machinery, indexes like this are often the only reliable way to find something by name. Stan 00:49, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

We've done something similar and fairly extensive at List of dog breeds because you don't know what people will be looking for. Elf | Talk 01:21, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
