Families in the Database
This list is something that me (the webmaster) put together on a rainy afternoon,
so any errors are mine rather than pfaf's. Most of the clasification has come from
Flowering Plants of The World ed: V.Haywood, Batsford. With a few alterations
to get the names of families in the database to fit.
