    This is available to anyone - but I will be the first to admit that it might not be to everyone's taste.

    A couple of months ago when it was raining so much I needed some digital exercise, so I researched and typed into a spreadsheet a complete taxonomic key of all flowering plants. It is a complete breakdown of every class, sub-class, order, and family. I have also added about 500 common genus to show where they fit in. I have used both Latin and Common names. Its uses the same classification as the RHS dictionary of plants, and most other plant books.

    What it does is show how different plants are grouped together into families. And then how families are grouped into orders etc.

    Being a spreadsheet you can do what you want with it. You can print it out. You can use it, as it is, as a reference document, which you can sort in various ways. Or you can remove the bits you are not interested in and just keep your own plants in it to illustrate how they are related to each other.

    If anyone is interested just send me an e-mail.
