Well, not really. See, thats the real problem: nodody really knows. Most of the taxonomy texts I can find for species censuses(cenci? what the plural?) are all rather....superficial. it's like the authors are writing them for the general audience, and leave out many lesser known species. For instance, upi here in the Adirondacks there are two small birch species, Betula pumila, and B. glabrescens, that are not listed in any texts I've found treating the areas flora.

I guess thats not really an answer for you though. To put things mildly, collecting lesser known species is a side hobby for me. Metaphorical collection, not actual collection. Like jokes? You know?

And'm not trying to be pugnacious if thats how I'm coming off. Hope your not either.
