I am a real non tech in this discussion as well as being fairly new to the site.
1. My biggest concern in using the database is being able to find the plant by any name so I can identify and add to the database both the site db and my own db also to view the pictures of a specific plant.
2. Consistency is important. --- I would think there is a problem that some Sempervivum are under Sempervivum some are under hens and chicks. It would seem that a global search should find the plant whatever term is used. latin or cultivar
Earlier today I had to go in and do a browse within all sempervivums (hens and chicks) in order to find Raspberry Ice.
3. It would seem to me, the moderator should have a set of standards by which they choose the accepted or preferred Botanical name, whether it use of an industry preferred document or a best practice online site.
Just my off the cuff thoughts.
