CD and DVD Image Name Abbreviations:
These abbreviations were selected so images would sort alphabetically
in folders read by the Paintshop Pro graphics editing program. That is
the program used to edit all the images on the CD set. It is available
from www.jasc.com. The order is also the order which is used in plant
id lectures.
These name abbreviations are used in the database to sort plants so the
scientific names are in alphabetical order. They are also used in
SaylorPlants visual basic code.
You can also use this code to quickly search for a genus and species in
SaylorPlants.
This code is also essential for burning CD’s, since a few names with
book references would go beyond 64 characters, which is the limit
on name length.
AA01 = Name or Title Slide (Not on CD set)
AAA01 = Label
AAAT01 = Book Title pages (Not on CD set)

AF01 = Form
BA01 = Bark
DS01 = Stem
HT01 = Twigs and Buds
LF01 = Leaves or Needles
OF01 = Flowers

Dates use 1st 3 letters of Month (ex. Jan, Feb)
Plant Names use: 1st 5 letters of the Genus name;
the 1st 4 letters of the species name;
the full name of the Cultivar, Subspecies,
Variety, Forma
With over 50,000 images in my collection, a few plants will still have
the full genus name used and the Cultivar may be abbreviated.
The first 1,000 images had to be completely renamed, and I lost track of
some after that.
Exceptions used where the first 5 letters of the genus are the same:
This list seems long, but it only includes about 120 genera in my list
of over 1000 genus names. A few species are also included. The fifth
letter is changed to keep the names alphabetical.
