		<li>
21
Click on the descriptive data type that you wish to enter for the taxon, for example &#8220;Common Name&#8221;; the data type will be added to the			<strong>Description Tree</strong> and its specific data entry box will be activated in the<strong> Details</strong> panel:
22
		</li>
23
	</ol>

		A customised Descriptive Tree consisting of different description types can be created in this way. As stated previously the format of the types of
29
		descriptive data varies; for some the data is input as free text but for others data must be chosen from options given in a drop-down menu. Therefore
30
		examples of how to input certain descriptive data types will be given in the following sections, rather than showing how to input data for each data
31
		type.
