That produces the 400-odd names. I ran that list through a couple of macros I already had to produce the statistics by genus.

There is also a "Build a Checklist" page which you can use to create a very nice report, with varying amounts of data here:

World Checklist of Selected Plant Families: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

If you selected the detailed checklist, it includes synonyms, publications, and sometimes information like "epiphyte" or "pseudobulb epiphyte".

(Those two links look the same in this post, but they really do go to different pages within the WCSP.)

Hope this helps,

Yes, that's awesome! Thanks! I'm processing the photos I took, so I'll post them once I finish!
