Question:
How do I make a Wish List in my User Information?
Answer:
By supplying the names of the genera and species that you
have a particular interest in, we can notify you by email as
soon as an item in your Wish List is newly posted on the web
site.
Type a list of one word (genus) and two word (species) names
into the Wish List field on your User Information
page, either separating items by commas, or one item per
line, like this:
Masdevallia, Dendrobium, Trichocentrum
tigrinum
or this:
Masdevallia
Dendrobium
Trichocentrum tigrinum
It's as simple as that, but the complete usage
description is detailed below. Read on if you have any
questions.
If you would like to be notified anytime plants in
your favorite genera are listed, just type them in separated
by a comma. For example:
Masdevallia, Dendrobium
OR you can list them one per line:
Masdevallia
Dendrobium
If you are interested in only a few species in a
genus, type in the full genus and specific name of each.
Place no comma between genus and specific name, but
place a comma between each species. For example:
Masdevallia amanda, Dendrobium
cyanocentrum, Trichocentrum tigrinum
OR:
Masdevallia amanda
Dendrobium cyanocentrum
Trichocentrum tigrinum
If supplying the names of species, each must be
prefixed with the genus name even if you are listing a
number of species in the same genus. The first word must
always be a genus. For example:
Stanhopea saccata, Stanhopea
reichenbachiana, Stanhopea wardii
BUT NOT:
Stanhopea saccata,
reichenbachiana, wardii
If you are interested in many species in a genus,
rather than listing them all, simply provide the one-word
genus name instead, and you will be notified of all new
listings in that genus.
Only two-word species names are allowed. Don't specify
varieties. For example, if you are interested in Laelia
anceps var. guerrero, you must just type
Laelia anceps and accept
notifications for all of the varieties. Do not type
Laelia anceps var.
guerrero.
If you decide that you would rather keep your list with
one item per line instead of separated by
commas, or vice versa, just change the method
separating the very first and second items, and submit the
form. The list will be reorganized for you.
Correct spelling is essential because the
notifications are based on exact name matches. If there is
more than one common spelling or synonym, type in both. Do
not use abbreviations.
This Wish List provides you notifications in addition to
ones requested using the "Notify on Retry" and "Notify Same
Species" options that you have placed in Notification
Requests and Reservations. If you have already placed such a
request, putting the species name in the Wish List is
unnecessary.
