Abstract

A computer-assisted identification (CAI) key, created by the XPer3 software, is presented based on the description of the genus Bazzania (Lepidoziaceae) in Madagascar. The knowledge database is presented along with automatically generated keys and static keys, which are both produced by the software. Although these tools are powerful and user-friendly, expert competence is essential both for building the database and providing relevant keys.
