 Thanks to the wonderful online resources available, I am trying to verify family names.  Most common resources include Wikpedia and the USDA plant database.  When possible I confirm with more than one resource.  If there is no agreement between the resources, then I stick with the original identification. 

Apiaceae = Umbelliferae

Arecaceae = Palmae

Asclepiadaceae = Apocynaceae

Asteraceae = Compositae

Brassicaceae = Cruciferae

Fabaceae = Leguminosae

Lamiaceae =Labiatae

Poaceae = Gramineae

Hemiontidaceae = Polypodiceae

Aspidiaceae = Polypodiaceae

Loganiaceae = Buddlejaceae

Colichicaceae = Liliaceae

Greyiaceae = Melianthaceae

Pteridaceae = Adiantaceae = Polypodiaceae

Dracaenaceae = Agavaceae
