Thanks for that. A couple of issues. One is the resulting heavy cost of change, Think checklists,alphanumeric codes, field guides are three that immediately come to mind. When we did the second printing of the National Geo guide, we opted to new editions and not an errata list of changes. My plant guides are already full of redactions and pen/ink changes. Second is the question of not changing scientific names. Does this mean that the Wilsonia will remain intact? John
