The use of \textsf{bracketkey} is explained below. See also the example in 
\texttt{Malva.tex} for how to use \textsf{bracketkey}. 
%
\begin{enumerate}
\item Use \verb+\begin{key}{&lt;text&gt;}+ and \verb+\end{key}+ to define the 
  \texttt{bracketkey} environment.

\item The second argument of \verb+\begin key+ can be used to pass 
  an abbreveated (genus) name to the `\texttt{name}' command.

\item The two alternatives of each couplet are defined by:
  
  \verb+\leadONE{&lt;backref&gt;}{&lt;text&gt;}+~~and \\
  \verb+\leadTWO{&lt;text&gt;}+.
  
  \verb+&lt;backref&gt;+ is an integer which refers to the previous couplet 
  number, in case that the current and the previouos couplet
  numbers are not consecutive.

\item Each `\texttt{lead}' command is followed by a `\texttt{name}' command:
  
  \verb+\name{&lt;text&gt;}{&lt;text|integer&gt;}{&lt;text&gt;}+
  
  \verb+&lt;text&gt;+ in the first argument is set in boldface. It can be used 
  for taxon ranks which do not require italized writing.

  \verb+&lt;text&gt;+ in the second argument is set in italics. It typically 
  takes names of genus rank and below. Alternatively, \verb+&lt;integer&gt;+
  refers to the next couplet.
  
  \verb+&lt;text&gt;+ in the third argument is set ``as is''. It can be used to provide 
  authority names.
\end{enumerate}
