Introduction

Understanding and classifying the natural world, especially flora is more important now than ever before. Aside from the pure inherent curiosity of identifying flora, it is often a necessity for larger goals to have a list of extant flora, particularly flora native to particular geographical, or political regions. Conservation work in particular has need for identifying specimens, as it is impossible to conserve what is not known. Dichotomous identification keys are widely available, and are common place in many works. Typically, these are keys to genra and , while less commonly a work might include a key to families. These keys were often produced purely in print form, limiting them to users with physical access to the flora/field guide. Modern digital resources make it available to have a wider range of identification resources, both with traditional dichotomous keys, but also more recent multi-access keys. Digital interactive keys require the creation and maintenance of a database to support them. Databases can be tedious to create, but can be aided by smart software that can extract data from electronic sources. In order to use historic print based information, the data either needs to be hand entered by a live user, or converted into electronic format to be read by software. This project discusses the feasibility of creating an online multi-access identification key for the woody plant families of Nepal and Bhutan based off the respective floras for those regions.

Identification Keys – Historic and Modern Perspectives

Origin of the Dichotomous Key as a Standard for Modern Botany

Dichotomous keys are probably one of the most well-known tools for identification used universally across almost all branches of biological science. In botanical sciences they are almost a mandatory element, particularly in any sort of taxonomic work e.g. floras, monographs, or any sort of revision. Several authors can be credited with developing tools that would fall under the scheme of modern dichotomous keys, but Jean-Baptiste Lamarck is generally credited as the who brought it into mainstream use in its modern format. He published a version of a dichotomous key in his 1778 Flore Française, and while it is far from the modern form its purpose is evident as a dichotomous identification key. The predecessors to the Lamarck key go Stradley 2 back an estimated one to two hundred years, beginning with the dialectic works of Ramus who presented dichotomously organized information designed as a teaching tool for his students. Also preceding Lamarck were dichotomous arrangements used as tools for presenting classification systems, e.g. John Ray’s scheme for his 1868 Historia Plantarum. (Griffing, 2011) Since then modern identification keys have diversified into several forms aside from the classic dichotomous key.

Modern identification keys can fall into one of two categories, either being single-access or multi-access in style. Dichotomous keys remain relatively unchanged in their presentation since their introduction in 1778, and fall under the heading of single-access keys as they proceed from a single starting point. Within the last century though many modern forms of biological identification have presented themselves with varying degrees of success. Theses fall under what are commonly referred to as multi-access keys. They allow the user to enter the key from a variety of starting points based on available data. While dichotomous keys are probably the more well-known of the two types, multi-access keys are not without merit.

Single-access Identification Keys

Typically, when discussing identification keys, it is implied that the key in question is a dichotomous key as presented in Figure 2. These keys progress logically from an initial starting point using discriminating couplets to guide the user through until an identification is made. The

majority dichotomous keys will be found in any number of taxonomic works, typically floras, monographs, and field guides and are used to identify genra and species. Higher level keys to family level identification are also found, but with a lower frequency than keys to genra and species. The basic principles behind keys are relatively simple and has probably been the main reason for their success. The main selling point being that well-constructed keys are compact, effective methods for identification, and can be incorporated into any number of botanical writings or resources. Once educated on how to use a key, any dichotomous key can be read and understood in short order. The only variation between keys is usually in how the couplets are ordered, either being parallel as in figure 2, or yoked as seen in figure 3. With parallel keys the choices in a couplet are presented jointly as a whole unit. In the key presented in figure 2 the first couplet presents us with two options. If option A describes your specimen, then you have reached a determination for your taxa, but if option A does not describe your specimen, then you proceed to the next couplet. Repeating these steps at each pairing until you have determined your taxa. Yoked keys are of a similar principle, except instead of strictly pairing couplets they

Figure 2 - Excerpt from the Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas illustrating a yoked key. (Radford et al., 1968) cluster relevant couplets under one half of the parent couplets. In the Key to Keys presented in figure 3 you have the choice of growth form. If your specimen meets the criteria for “, , or woody vines” you can proceed to characters more directly relevant to your specimen as dictated by the parent couplet. The preference of either keying system subjective to personal preference and how one was taught.

Stradley 4

Both systems have admirable qualities, but limit users from more dynamic uses. The primary problem with dichotomous keys is that they are single-access. Users are limited to a single point of entry at each level of the key, which can be a compounded issues depending on the characters selected for use in the key. Characters utilized in the creation of keys are often ones that efficiently split taxa into clear groups, e.g. corolla fused versus corolla of 5 free petals. Using highlight characters limits other data that could be useful in identification, and may present characters that are not present in the specimen available. One also has to consider the context for creating a key. In the creation of floras one typically includes a key for identifying the genra and species that the author has provided in that volume. Species concepts for the included taxa are evaluated prior to inclusion in the flora, and may be somewhat changed from previous usages. Keys are included to be able to identify the genra and species contained in the volume, but also as a way to help validate one’s classification. Dichotomous keys provide a method for shuffling taxa into their respective slots based on observed characters that define those taxa. Neither of these are inherent disadvantages, but must be considered when constructing keys. Effective key design is equally important, and quite often just as difficult as any other form of taxonomic work.

Multi-access Identification Keys

Just shy of its 250th birthday, the dichotomous key has remained relatively unchanged and is one of the primary methods for identification of plant specimens, but are not without their drawbacks. Since then many have come along with novel identification methods that take the fundamental idea of an identification key, and transform it from a traditional dichotomous key into a more dynamic multi-access key. As their name implies the main benefit of these keys are that they allow the user to start from many different places in the identification process. This feature alone, were it applied to dichotomous keys, would have been a significant advancement in identification. However, the two methods tend to remain fairly exclusive to one another. When multi-access keys are presented it is usually to accompany a traditional dichotomous key. This has not stopped multi-access keys from gaining popularity and they are uniquely suited for Stradley 5 more dynamic usages including creation of digital interactive keys. Multi-access keys are a diverse conglomerate of many different styles for presenting identification information and range from practical to ones that are more useful for their visualizations, than for practical identification. There are only a few multi-access keys that are of interest here and include two examples of print based multi-access keys, as well as digital online multi-access keys.

Print based multi-access keys are somewhat underrated, but represent a very useful way for presenting data. The most common type of print based multi-access key is a letter code key in which a set of characters are prepared for the target group with corresponding letters assigned to them. The user proceeds through the list of characters recording the letter whenever a character present in the specimen matches that of a character in the list provided. Once all characters have been scored then the user will consult a list of taxa with a sequence of letters assigned to it. The goal is that the user’s sequence of identified characters from the specimen will match that of one of the prepared sequences assigned to a taxon. This type of print based key has been employed fairly often for use in specialized interest groups. Selected examples include Stace’s (2010) key to British species of Epilobium L., Dudman and Richard’s (1997) key to British and Irish Taraxacum F.H. Wigg., Davis and Davis (1975) key to genera for Asteraceae Bercht. & J. Presl, and two keys for Apiaceae Lindl. one in the Flora of China Vol 14 (Wu et al., 2005), and the other published by the Botanical Society of the British Isles (Ellis, 1989.) The Flora of China Vol 14 key to Apiaceae is recommended as an example of a letter code key. Letter code keys are the primary form of multi-access key seen in print, but typically for genra or species. Alwyn Gentry (1993) attempts a form of multi-access key for families in his Field Guide to the Families and Genera of Woody Plants of Northwest South America. Gentry utilizes several levels of easily defined characters to guide users to a list of families from which to compare their specimen. His major divisions are on leaf arrangement and leaf type (Simple/compound,) followed by easily identifiable spot characters. Under each spot character is a list of families. The user then matches a family description to the specimen. Gentry’s key is a useful way to look at information in the field, and as an educational tool. It does lack a certain level of cohesive organization, and users are limited to using one character at a time and cannot cross-reference across characters. Gentry’s key would have benefited from a more structured letter code presentation, and pairing with dichotomous key as is done with most letter code keys. Stradley 6

Both letter code keys, and Gentry’s key present practical print based methods for multi-access processes. And letter code keys in particular are the framework for producing online multi- access keys.

The principles underlying letter code multi-access keys can be directly taken and modified for use in a digital environment. The processes for creating online multi-access keys is relatively the same, but allows the creator to manipulate and add to the key in many ways not available in print. Farr (2006) advocates the advantages of online citing that their primary benefits include image display, their ease of development/updating, distribution, and ease of access. Underlying all of those are the digital databases that support the functionality of an online key. Having a virtual database as allows for real-time updates that enhance the accuracy of the key. Print based keys often become outdated as new data becomes available, and taxa concepts change. Digitally linked keys can be revised to show the most current taxa concepts. Keys published online immediately increase their usability far beyond that of print based keys, the only catch being internet accessibility. This can easily be remedied by making the key available in an offline format, or having print functionality designed into the database whereby a print based key could be generated. Online databased keys bring the data to the user versus the user coming to the data. Online digital keys will never fully replace print based identification systems, nor should they. The two systems have the benefit to work cohesively together to improve each other. Print based as portable well known systems, digital systems maintaining a wealth of additional information to confirm identifications.

Circumscription of the Families of the Floras of Nepal and Bhutan

It is the habit of humans to want to classify the natural world around them, and botanists are no exception. 370 BCE sees the advent of classification with the writings of Theophrastus, who is now considered the Father of Botany. His works inspired many who came after him through to Linnaeus. The works of Linnaeus, though more widely recognized, are among many of the time. His works are vital though as they refine some of the existing concepts of the time, and provide some rules to guide future work. (Bhattacharyya, 2005) Theophrastus and Linnaeus are but a few of the many authors throughout the 2400 years of recorded botany. There have Stradley 7

been many systems of classification, the most relevant three are outlined below. The systems of note here are Bentham and Hooker, the Englerian system, and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG.) The former two had fluctuating degrees of popularity, though were both still commonly used until the advent of the APG system. The APG system, now in its fourth edition, has become increasingly popular as the use of molecular sequencing has become more commonly used. Following is a brief discussion on each of the pertinent systems.

Pre-molecular Classification

Bentham and Hooker – Genra Plantarum, and The Flora of British India

The mid-1800’s in Britain was the stage for several notable scientific works. At the same time Darwin was preparing to release his Origin of Species, British botanists George Bentham, and Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker were in the process of creating their Genra Plantarum (ad exemplaria imprimis in herbariis kewensibus servata definita.) Considering that Bentham and Hooker’s system was under development at the same time as Darwin was preparing to release the first publication of his Origin of Species it is surprising that they did not take a more progressive approach towards one of their seminal works. Hooker was in fact very favorable towards the ideas of Darwin, but Bentham was somewhat reluctant on the issue. It was decided that they would proceed with his original plan of publishing their Genra Plantarum in accordance with a natural order of Bentham’s devising. The inspiration for Genra Plantarum was primarily derived from the works of de Jussieu, and de Candolle, both of whom were among the top botanists of their time. Despite its lack of a more modern systematic approach, the Bentham and Hooker system did gain popularity among many British institutions, and throughout the Commonwealth. One of its primary benefits was the level of detail given to each of the families and genra. Each family and received its own detailed account based on living material and herbarium specimens. This thorough methodology helped eliminate mistakes copied along in previous botanical work, as well it set the standard for botanical descriptions to date. (Davis and Heywood, 1963)

Stradley 8

Prior to the publication of the Genra Plantarum Sir JD Hooker was also in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Thompson on the creation of a Flora Indica. Their Flora Indica was to serve as one of the first comprehensive systematic accounts of the region of British India, as no comparable work had been previously prepared. Many lesser volumes had been previously published by various authors, but not as a single volume. Unfortunately for Hooker and Thompson the East India Company ceased funding for this project, and they were only able to produce the introductory volume in 1855. Although Flora Indica failed to gain footing, the idea of the project was not entirely forgotten. In 1870 the Indian government in conjunction with Hooker and Kew undertook to produce the Flora of British India. The beginnings of Flora Indica were utilized as the foundation for the Flora of British India, primarily the division of the country into districts so as to more easily discuss range. Being published concurrently with Genra Plantarum Hooker utilized the system the he and Bentham had previously devised as the system on which Flora of British India would be based. Publication on the series concluded in 1887. (Burkill,1965) The seven volume series would go on to serve as one of the primary references for the area, and was one of the main resources utilized for the creation of the Flora of Bhutan. (Grierson and Long, 1983)

The Systematics of Engler and Prantl – The Flora of Bhutan, and Nepal

Bentham and Hooker’s Genra Plantarum marked the end of the age of natural systems, and stood witness to the rise in popularity of phylogenetic systems. The majority of systems post Darwin followed the new phylogenetic trend. In the tradition of the natural systems it was fully acceptable to observe, describe, and order. Phylogenetics however ushered in a refinement on how plants were ordered. It was emphasized that one conducted an evolutionary interpretation, rather than simply ordering plants arbitrarily. (Stuessy, 2009) In a sense it was using plants to inform their own order, rather than imposing an order on plants. Which tied the detailed observational methodology of Bentham and Hooker into the newer phylogenetic systems.

Engler’s system was not necessarily of novel design, but rather a refinement in a line of systems originating with Adolph Brongniart. One of Brongniart’s innovations was to eliminate the grouping of apetalous flowering plants, and to place them more appropriately in petaliferous Stradley 9

groups with whom their morphology more accurately matched. This brought it more in line with the methods of the phylogenetic systems. Prior to Engler Brongniart’s system was adapted by Alexander Braun, and Eichler. Engler picked up the system from Eichler in 1886 and began his own refinements. Along with his assistant Karl Prantl he published Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien; as well as publishing Das Pflanzenreich. These two volumes would become the foundation for his well-known system. As with Bentham and Hooker’s system, it was not necessarily the classification that lead to the popularity of this system. Engler’s system was not phylogenetic in a strict sense, but he did systematically approach the whole of the plant kingdom. It is for this reason that his system gained popularity, as it gave a picture of the whole versus a partial snapshot. The Englerian system went on to become the standard for many American and European herbaria. (Davis and Heywood, 1963)

The Flora of Bhutan

While Bhutan was treated in Sir Hooker’s Flora of British India it did not have an exhaustive work solely dedicated to the flora within its borders. By the 1950’s there was quite a substantial amount of material which had been collected by those who had been able to enter and explore the country, namely William Griffith, Frank Ludlow, and George Sherriff. Their combined collections represented roughly 7,200 herbarium specimens. As the amount of botanical information grew it became more and more apparent to the Bhutanese government that a comprehensive work for their country still did not exist. To this end, in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, a series of volumes was published beginning in 1983 concluding publication in 2002. (Grierson and Long, 1983)

The format for these publications was a slightly divergent from historic floras, in that it was adapted to the particular needs of the end user in Bhutan, versus being a strict reference volume. The primary user of these volumes were Bhutanese foresters who would be using the flora for identification purposes. To this end the authors made several changes to make the volumes as easy to use for the Bhutanese, some of whom had no formal botanical education, or for whom English is a second language. The adaptations for the Flora of Bhutan included simplifying the terms used, in conjunction with limiting abbreviations where possible. The Stradley 10 number of micro-characters used was limited where possible as well in favor of more readily observable characters, primarily vegetative which are the easiest to observe in the field. Keys included in these volumes were also modified to give results only so far as a species group, so that final identification would be made based on a description, rather than single characters in the key. This was done with the aim of helping to eliminate misidentification. The end result creating sort of a hybrid flora/forestry field guide. (Grierson and Long, 1983)

Systematics for these volumes was also a hybrid to a certain extent. The primary classification used was that of Engler, but only for familial circumscription. Classification at the generic level follows the arrangement used in the Flora of British India. The uses of these systems was not a direct one-to-one transfer, and required modification were new data was available regarding family delimitations, as well as the correct use of names for taxa. (Grierson and Long, 1983) The Flora of Bhutan served to unify two of the leading botanical systems, and give them a much needed boost after nearly a century of use.

The Flora of Nepal

Nepal, as with neighboring Bhutan did not have a comprehensive set of floristic volumes, and this hole in the knowledge of Himalayan botany was one of the driving factors in beginning the Flora of Nepal project. Filling this gap in our knowledge of the region is actually one of the lesser notes of importance regarding these volumes. The Flora of Nepal series serves to act as a foundation for the conservation and sustainable use of Nepal’s flora. The Nepalese government in conjunction with a passionate group of Himalayan botanists came together to help jointly fulfill Nepal’s National Biodiversity Strategy under the Convention for Biological Diversity. Where the Flora of Bhutan was written for foresters, the Flora of Nepal is strategically designed as not only a reference work, but a tool for the conservation of Himalayan flora. The borders of Nepal encompass approximately a third of all Himalayan diversity, and is one of the top Global Biodiversity Hotspots. Accounts written for the Flora of Nepal encompass many baseline data needed that are helpful in several areas ranging from environmental studies to conservation planning. (Watson et al. 2011)

Stradley 11

The end product necessary to make this series a valuable tool for researchers meant taking it beyond the tradition of a purely print based work. The authors realized the need to have the Flora of Nepal be a dynamic work, and have incorporated many digital tools into its creation. In addition to being published in print, all accounts are published online as well. A custom built website houses the accounts as well as all accessory information pertaining to the flora. Often it is accessory data like primary occurrences that have proven more useful to some researchers. Hybrid publication also allows for active revision rather than have to publish a new print edition, which can be costly and time consuming. Publishing individual accounts digitally allows for rapid revision as new data becomes available. It also allows for the implementation of changes in classification. The Flora of Nepal follows a style approximate to that of the Flora of China, and the Flora of Bhutan. (Watson et al. 2011) For some end users this modified Englerian system may seems a step back in light of the all the other advances present in the Flora of Nepal. Especially considering the publication of the third update to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group’s classification two years prior to the publication of the Flora of Nepal. While an updated classification in the print volumes would be desirable it is a minor inconvenience when coupled with the digital resources backing it. As mentioned previously digital resources allow for live revision, and can be sued to account for changes in systematics.

Post-molecular Classification

The unification of the Englerian system with that of Bentham and Hooker was an inadvertent step toward the production of a common standard of systematic classification, and would have served well to receive further recognition than solely the Flora of Bhutan. Many modern systems were still evolving well into the late 1900’s, and the Flora of Bhutan system mainly stayed within the confine of its volumes. During the latter quarter of the 20th Century there was a growing desire for a unified system from which to effectively communicate the relationships of flowering plants. Coupled with advances in molecular techniques a project was initiated that would result in the first unified phylogenetic system of flowering plants.

Stradley 12

Angiosperm Phylogeny Group - An Ordinal Classification for the Families of Flowering Plants

In the roughly 250 years since Linnaeus there have been many systems for classifying the plant kingdom, but no one system has been able to rise above the rest as the universal standard. Many systems have had admirable qualities that have endured the test of time, among them the previously mentioned quality of Bentham and Hooker’s descriptions, and Engler’s classification. The latter being a step in the direction towards a unified system, but a system that would ultimately stand as peer among many systems. It wouldn’t be until 1998 that the first edition of the Ordinal Classification for the Families of Flowering Plants would be published by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG.)

The APG sought to present the first highly supported classification of plants at the level of order, as well as define a certain number of clades. Their goal was to create a standard from which all botanists could accurately discuss their future findings. Their criteria for creating this system were quite simple, with a single criterion being their overarching rule. Monophyly dictated much of the structure of their system, and while it was not the sole rule, it was one of the main driving factors. The system is primarily concerned with organization at the order level, with secondary priority being applied to the families themselves. The design is that the APG provide a framework, and that independent work on the revision and circumscription of families fall within that framework. To that end, many families that existed in previous systems are have been modified in the APG system. The APG system is currently in its fourth revision (APG IV,) but for the purposes of this paper APG III will be used as it has become the current standard of classification.

Transitioning from a Modified Englerian System to the APG III System

As APG III enters its sixth year of publication many institutions are switching to it, or its previous 2003 iteration APG II, to organize things like herbaria. Depending on which classification system each institution used previously dictates the level of rearrangement needed. Because collections like herbaria are a made of discrete physically movable item it is easy to Stradley 13

draw up a map of where things should be. Haston et al. (2007, 2009) presents such a list in their papers A linear sequence of Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II families, and The Linear Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (LAPG) III: a linear sequence of the families in APG III. While a phylogenetic tree does convey pertinent information regarding relationships and organization, it does not necessarily present a practical method for arrangement in herbaria and books. Having a linear system, while not necessary, is useful when converting from one system to another. Both APG III, and LAPG III were utilized for this project.

Converting the Flora of Bhutan, and the Flora of Nepal to APG II/III

As previously mentioned, both the Flora of Bhutan, and the Flora of Nepal were written in modified versions of the Englerian system. As far as pre-molecular systems go, both versions utilized for these floras are fairly accurate, with the Flora of Nepal having been revised to a more accurate level compared to that of the Flora of Bhutan. Flora of Nepal incorporates more modern understandings of circumscriptions, as well it conducts active revision of genera during the publication process. Both though are still only pre-molecular in their classification, and require to be converted into APG. APG IV is the latest revision to the system, but will not but utilized in this paper. APG III has a much more stable and widely accepted standing, whereas APG IV was newly published at the same time as the start of research for this paper.

Circumscriptions of Selected Families

For the purposes of this paper, not all families treated in the two floras were considered. To do so would be a larger undertaking than feasible for the time constraints of this project. To that end the primary focus was chosen to be only those plant families that exhibit woodiness1 with the exclusion Gymnosperms, and Monocots. While the former does exhibit true woodiness, it fell just outside the ideal target of this project. The Monocots were excluded as they are primarily herbaceous, and their members (Palms, pachycaul , or bamboo) that may be

1 Woodiness here defined as anything qualified in its description as being a “tree,” “,” or “woody climber,” or any variation on those terms. Stradley 14

considered woody do not necessarily exhibit true woodiness as defined here. The initial number of woody families isolated was approximately 150 from the two floras.

The process to convert the initial Englerian list of families to a list of APG families was required several rounds of editing, as it was more than simply looking up a whether or not a family’s name had changed. Several things happen in a change from system to system, particularly in one changing from a pre-molecular to a post-molecular system. The initial round of editing was simply to check if any family level name changes had occurred between the Englerian system and APG III. The majority of edits were formerly independent families being sunk into existing families. A notable example being the Englerian families Sterculiaceae Vent., Tilliaceae Juss., Bombacaceae Kunth, and Malvaceae Juss. becoming Malvaceae s.l. Formerly independent families being subsumed into existing families is one of the primary ways in which circumscription changed from Englerian to APG. This direct one into another change is the most ideal change, but not the only one to be encountered, and was the least complex change to unravel. In order to achieve the most accurate circumscriptions, the immediate family name in the Flora of Bhutan/Nepal were ignored in favor of looking at the names of constituent genra. Tracing the genera gives a much more informed picture, and is necessary to accurately use a family name.

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh revised their herbarium from the Bentham and Hooker system to that of APG II. For this move a list of all genra was drafted from APGWeb listing the genera, their family placement, and LAPG II number. (E.M. Haston, RBGE, pers. comm.) The subordinate genra for the initial list of families were analyzed to see if they still fell within that family placement. This method ensured that genra like Paeonia L. and Helwingia Willd. were recognized in their correct placement. APG III does list these families, but not that they were formerly genra in existing families. Juss., and Rich. Ex DC. have been problematic families, but have recently gained some better resolution. Euphorbiaceae sensu Flora of Bhutan split very neatly into Euphorbiaceae s.s., and Phyllanthaceae Martinov. The former retaining about two-thirds of its original genra, the other third going to Phyllanthaceae, and a single genra going into Putranjivaceae Endl. Similarly, in Flacourtiaceae three-quarters of the genra moved into Salicaceae, with the other quarter moving Stradley 15

to Achariaceae Harms. Appendix I contains the full list of genra, with concordant listings of their familial placement in both APG and the Flora of Bhutan/Nepal. Their placement in the APG II list is almost fully in line with where the APG III family name changes predicted they would be, with the exception of Brandisia Hook.f. and Thom., and Wightia Wall. formerly of Scrophulariaceae Juss., but have had a checkered past of uncertain placement. The most recent work by Zhou et al., 2014 places them in Orobanchaceae Vent. and Paulowniaceae Nakai respectively. Out of the 150 original families selected from the Flora of Bhutan/Nepal only 121 remained to proceed to the creation of the data grid.

Development of a Character Matrix Based on the APG Families

Family Descriptions

Completing an accurate circumscription of families was essential for the accurate creation of the primary data grid. While some families only contained woody genra, others were a mix of woody and herbaceous genra. New synthetic family descriptions were distilled from composite data to create woody only family descriptions. Creating composite descriptions for family accounts worked well in some areas, giving higher character coverage, but in other instances data was lost as a result of new circumscriptions, or when excluding herbaceous genra. In the case of Sapindaceae Juss. two other families were sunk into it (Aceraceae Juss., and Hippocastanaceae A. Rich.) giving it three times the amount of character coverage. While some characters did overlap, having three family descriptions to pull from for the newly circumscribed family meant that there was a greater likelihood that the majority of characters for this family would have a value assigned to them. Families that represented a loss in data included Helwingiaceae Decne., Paeoniaceae Raf., and Asteraceae Bercht. & J. Presl. The former two being families created from genera previously contained within existing families. Helwingiaceae previously belonging to Cornaceae Bercht. & J. Presl, and Paeoniaceae previously belonging to Ranunculaceae Juss. Because of that only the generic descriptions for Helwingia and Paeonia were available as a family description to fill the character matrix, and as a result had a sparser character coverage. Circumscription for Asteraceae remained stable, but only contained one genus that was woody (Vernonia Schreb.) In this instance it was decided to use the generic Stradley 16 description for Vernonia, in place of the family description, treating it as was done for Helwingia, and Paeonia. As mentioned above Euphorbiaceae split into Euphorbiaceae s.s., Phyllanthaceae, and Putranjivaceae. This was one of the more ideal circumscription changes to occur. While Euphorbiaceae did loose genra, it retained quite a large number of genra. Phyllanthaceae as a spin-off family from Euphorbiaceae, and also now including Bischofiaceae Airy Shaw, gained sufficient genra to create a decent composite description.

Consideration of Characters

The completed list of APG III circumscribed families was entered into excel in order to facilitate the creation of a character matrix. The original, and composite family descriptions from the Flora of Bhutan/Nepal were used to populate the character matrix. Proper character headings were not immediately apparent and evolved as family entries were parsed out into the data matrix. Often having to return to previous entries to re-evaluate how a character was called. This was primarily due to how accounts within the Flora of Bhutan were written. Two main problems are apparent in these volumes. The first being that the target audience for this volume is not taxonomists, but rather Bhutanese forestry. This is not necessarily a flaw in regards to the volumes, but when being utilized for the creation of a digital database one desires a higher level of more exacting terminology, and description of taxa. Secondly taxonomic accounts range from a scant 55 words to briefly describe Juglandaceae DC. ex Perleb, to an exacting and detailed 130 words to describe Solanaceae Juss. These two accounts represent the wide variation of writing styles used in these volumes.

Variation in writing styles between accounts made it difficult to initially determine the appropriate headings to be used in the data matrix. Characters immediately apparent to include were growth form e.g. tree, shrub, or woody climber. Though even these terms had variation with twining shrub, , and woody twiner being used. While these do represent differences in growth form they are minute and were simplified to shrub for the former, and woody climber for the latter two. Similar calls were required quite often for each character, a notable example being stipules. This character was described varyingly as exstipulate, absent, deciduous, caducous, stipulate, and present. The former two being absence characters, and the latter four Stradley 17 being presence characters. To that end they were all simplified as either being absent or present. Characters like these were simplified with the intent of present a binary set of options, or in the case of growth form discrete easily understood options. While these terms were simplified, others were left more closely matching their original state as described in the floras. This was done for characters that could not be easily reduced to a binary, or limited selection of states. Leaf type could have been reduced to simple and compound, but would have lost all further identifying power by eliminating compound leaf type, e.g. pinnate, palmate, biturnate. While these did increase the number of decisions to be processed in the key, it provided valuable data for identifying taxa. Inflorescence type, inflorescence position, and fruit type were also in the same way as leaf type. Each character had to be evaluated in turn, and sometimes re-evaluated when new instances occurred, as to the level of complexity desired to be presented in the data grid. It was desirable to streamline data for ease of presentation in the end product, but without losing so much detail as to make the character meaningless.

Floral characters were fairly straight forward, with the exception of the gynoecium, which imprecisely described. Separate columns were created for each floral organ, with an additional column for perianth when there was no differentiation between calyx and corolla. Originally columns for unisexual male and female flowers were created, but in favor of a smoother presentation all organs were treated individually. Columns were created to capture fusion within organ whorls, and between whorls. With regards to the gynoecial terminology used to describe this structure was somewhat inconsistent across all accounts. The three main terms used were locule, cell, and rarely carpel. Because of the inconsistency with which these terms were used gynoecial numbers were checked against The Flowering Plants Handbook. (Byng, 2014) Inconsistencies like these make utilizing and accessing stored data more difficult. This problem is hardly new, and is quite often a topic of discussion among researchers.

Consistency of Taxonomic Data in Multiple Sources

Watson (1971) rather aggressively attacks this issue as it pertains to the revision of large taxa groups, outlining what he feels are the steps that need to be taken to rectify the issue. While he is primarily addressing monographic revisions of large genera, he posits some worthwhile Stradley 18 points about the quality, and necessity of having meaningful taxonomic databases. He feels that ideally “…material for ‘concise regional comprehensive floras’ would be far better extracted from world monographs in which fundamental classificatory problems had been examined in proper perspective.” (Watson, 1971) His critique is that texts are being built in the wrong order, in that data should be disseminated in a stepwise fashion from a pure database at the top as the basis for global monographs, then having local floras created from those texts. He feels that building monographs from regional floras, and databases from these works is only chipping away at larger issues. Additionally, that the quality of data derived from them is often imprecise, and often not comparable between sources. Lydon et al., addresses this in their 2003 paper comparing accounts of five species of Ranunculus L. across six prominent floras.

By analyzing a genus like Ranunculus they were able to look at a single taxon group with a relatively stable classification, as well as having a widespread distribution, and recognition in several well-known floras. What they discovered in the accounts was not entirely unsurprising, and is reflective of the larger data quality issues that were of such concern to Watson. At species level descriptions it was determined that roughly 55% of data was found only in one source, with only 9% showing total agreement across sources. Disagreement between sources was only about 1%, but while outright disagreement was low, other data incongruence was approximately 36%. The most common reason for data incongruences was when data mostly agreed, but in the form of overlapping ranges. (Lydon et al., 2003) The authors summarized this very nicely in that “when correlated, a sparse data matrix is produced, in which sources very rarely contradict, rarely agree absolutely, yet typically demonstrate a broad area of overlap.” Data rarely contradicting is a good sign, but still leaves us with the issue of the quality of the data. Lydon et al. (2003) and Watson (1971) give two extreme opinions on the solution to this issue, and to a degree both have their merits, but need to be tempered a bit. Both authors are partial to the benefits of monographic works in that a higher level of detail goes into their creation, and as a result produce more meaningful and accurate data. Lydon et al. (2003) however advocates for what is termed “consensus data,” which is pulls data from accounts, and then stitches it together into a composite account or data matrix. This method would produce results with higher character coverage, but is not without potential flaws. The usefulness value of the consensus data is contingent on the quality of the individual data used to create it. The methodology of Stradley 19

consensus data is directly counter to that of Watson (1971) who advocates pure data and descriptions prepared “in the best Bentham and Hooker tradition.” He is rather passionate on this point, and is not far from Bentham and Hooker’s methodology when creating Genra Plantarum, which is one of the main reasons it was such a landmark work. Their detailed observation of new material was a direct statement against the often inaccurate/incomplete works of their predecessors. A combined approach of Lydon et al. (2003,) and Watson (1971) would serve best in making use of what sometimes referred to as Legacy Data2, but supplementing it with new observation when data is missing or incongruent.

Digital Extraction of Floristic Data

Modern botanists have the entire corpus of botanical knowledge and history available to them with the potential to create vast databases from this Legacy Data. Historic Legacy Data is typically stored as print data in books, with newer data also being stored in electronic format for human usage. Converting this data from a limited format into digitally readable format for computers is a straightforward goal with a not so straightforward answer. Following up on work of Lydon et al. (2003) Cui (2008) drew similar conclusions about the variation of data across collections as well as variation in formatting of accounts. Cui wanted to develop a system to extract data from accounts and have the data rendered into an XML3 file. MArkuper for Taxonomic Treatments (MARTT) was designed to meet the requirements for testing data extraction in Cui’s study. For effective usage the system needed to be versatile across account, and was tested on the Flora of North America, Flora of China, and the Flora of North Central Texas. To achieve this Cui developed a system that was self-teaching and would learn from accounts as it processed them. Learning was facilitated by training examples of taxonomic accounts prepared at an expert level, texts that were hand marked with appropriate tags, or from pre-selected rules. As MARTT reads through a taxonomic account it sorts the data into respective nested hierarchies marking a parent character with subordinate characters that pertain to the parent character e.g. Flower  Inflorescence, Flower  Corolla. MARTT will nest

2 Used somewhat differently between Lydon et al. (2003) and Cui (2008) Legacy Data encompasses hard copy data in print as well as digital media (DOC, HTML, PDF) that has not been converted into a database readable format. 3 Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. Stradley 20

characters as needed to adequately cover any character that may be encountered e.g. Flower  Corolla  Length, Flower  Corolla  Fusion. Allowing MARTT to make and reuse its own rules produced better results across accounts and contributed to its overall effectiveness across accounts. (Cui, 2008) MARTT provides the necessary frame work for creating databases from Legacy Data, and can be adapted to work on a wide variety of collections.

Legacy Data at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Library

In terms of Legacy Data in print the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh has quite a substantial amount of data held within its walls. In the main library alone there are approximately 50,600 titles covering a wide variety of topics including taxonomy, floristics, scientific works, practical horticulture (including garden design,) economic botany, ethno- botany, botanical travel, expeditions, and pathology. In addition to the main library catalogue titles there are roughly 4,750 serial journal titles, 700 reprinted volumes (with roughly 8-10 items in each volume,) 30,000 reprinted pamphlet style items, and another 2,000 volumes in special collections. (G. Hardy, RBGE, pers. comm.) The special collections are of note in that many of the works contained there are historic botanical volumes by many prominent botanists. The scientific relevance of these volumes has not diminished over time and they are often just as important today as they were when they were printed. The problem though is that so many volumes are only in print, or photographically digitized. Effective digitization into formats that can be databased opens this vast resource of data to a much wider and creative range of usages.

Discussion

Mobilizing Legacy Data from the Flora of Bhutan/Nepal

The Flora of Bhutan/Nepal are an effective case study for illustrating the benefits of taxonomic databases, both for creating them from extant data, and the benefits of database creation in and of themselves. Preparing a database from the Flora of Bhutan yielded mixed results. The accounts contained in the Flora of Bhutan were written for a specific purpose, and while they meet the requirements for their creation, their usefulness in creating a taxonomic Stradley 21

database are less than desirable. For use in the creation of a multi-access key the resultant database would benefit from supplementary information to refine the character concepts, as well as the values for them. The Flora of Nepal volume was effective for this purpose as it was written to a more exacting taxonomic level, and the data it contained have a higher consistency across accounts. Unfortunately, only a handful of families were able to be refined to a more precise level, as the Flora of Nepal only has one published volume out of ten. The process of creating a database from the two floras put the project of creating a multi-access key into a larger perspective of data management and highlighted some areas of improvement for future consideration.

Although somewhat abrasive in his presentation Watson’s (1971) critique on data dissemination was insightful for looking at this project, and the Flora of Bhutan in retrospect. Had a database been available for the creation of the Flora of Bhutan the quality of all accounts in the flora could have been improved. Not only would this have provided a higher level of precision in accounts it would have ultimately made it easier to create a useful resource for Bhutanese foresters in addition to creating a precision flora. Practices adopted in the creation of the Flora of Nepal work to improve upon this. Even though the premise for the floras come from similar desires, accounts for the Flora of Nepal are more precisely written to a higher taxonomic audience. As accounts are revised in preparation for publication fresh observational data is gathered and managed through a database. Concurrently to the print publications, digital accounts are published that can be easily converted with analysis software like MARTT for use in many larger projects. Creation of an online multi-access key from these resources, or from any set of floras is an achievable goal, and a preliminary key for the Flora of Bhutan/Nepal was achieved from this project.

A higher degree of precision could have been achieved on the current project with a better understanding of computer programming. Particularly in the creation of the datagrid used as the basis for our multi-access key. Characters were manually extracted, and while they were organized in a meaningful structure, a better understanding of characters, character states, and nested hierarchies could have potentially created a better datagrid from which to base the project. The current key should serve as a draft for a more accurate key created using extraction software Stradley 22 that can repeatedly call characters in the same way for each entry. Verification of the data can then be performed by the researcher before processing it for key creation. Incorporation of software could also open the project to include all plant families, not simple the woody ones. To help offset the data quality issues from the Flora of Bhutan, a list of genra and species from the flora should be used to reference to link higher level taxonomic works for families not yet revised in the Flora of Nepal.

Conclusion

Original researchers invested large sums of time and effort into producing their work now held in a myriad of formats, primarily print. This does not give it any inherent correctness, but it is a valuable resource regardless, either for gathering data that is of use, or for knowing where new data is needed to fill in or correct information. Allowing extant data to sit unused is a disservice to furthering botanical knowledge, making use of Legacy Data by mobilizing it into new formats helps stimulate new discourse, as well as bring new life to a work that might otherwise gather dust on a shelf.
