Welcome to the Malpighiales Scratchpad, built by Emma McLarnon (BSc Biology, Leeds University), as part of a Web-based biodiversity project at Kew (2010 - 2011).

Currently the Scratchpad has two main roles. The first is to house the genus pages and image galleries for Kew’s Interactive Key to Genera of Euphorbiaceae s.l., Salicaceae and Achariaceae. The second is to provide a forum for discussion and news about Malpighiales systematics. We welcome suggestions for future roles.

Enjoy the site!

Scratchpads developed and conceived by: Vince Smith, Simon Rycroft, Dave Roberts, Ben Scott...
