Compositae vocabulary

[Lincoln Stein]

Hello Kent,

We would be very happy to accept a list of terms for the Compositae. We will
need the name of each term, a brief definition of the term (following the
format in the existing ontology), and an indication of where in the ontology
the term should be placed.

Best,

Lincoln
