David, Thanks much for the advice. I assembled this exhibit rather quickly (one of Exhibit's great strengths, I believe) for demo/proof of concept purposes, but I do want to optimize it. With regard to the facets, it's I'll probably fold up the species in genera to reduce the number of topical facets. Is there anyway to make such a genus list expandable to list subordinate species when selecting a genus?
