Peet Subject: Re: herbarium phenology codes (fwd) Bob Most are typos A = absent I = immature M = mature Sorry for the confusion. Having undergraduates enter data can lead to problems, both of interpretation and typing. Jim -----Original Message----- From: "Robert K.

There are codes given for Leaf, Flower, Fruit, and Root 'leaves': A,F,L,I,M,N,U,V,W,Y 'flower': A, F, I, J, M, N 'fruit': A, H, I, M, O, Q, S 'root': A,B,C,E,F,I,M,N,P,Q,R,S,Y Do you know where we can find the definitions? Doubtless a few are typos, but we really do not know where to start. If it would help, I could give you a count for each. For example, for leaves M is the most common with 39535 records. Thanks, Bob -----
