Hello,<br>
<br>
Based on the input here, and the description of th natural=tree key,
I've ammended the plant nursery proposal:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant_nursery">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant_nursery</a><br>
<br>
Please note that this is not exactly the suggestion made by Sean,
but rather based on the existing way of tagging as used by the
natural=tree tag. <br>
<br>
Additionally I've created a new draft which contains the plant
proposal itself, and the involved keys:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant</a><br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It looks like a lot of the specifics can be directly
referenced so it wouldn't need to be duplicated in the OSM wiki.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Depending on how much the tagger wants to record, you could
define a tree node as follows:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>plant=<type>, where
type={tree, herb, bush, grass, vine, fern, moss, green-algae}</div>
<div><type>=<common name></div>
<div>species=<latin classification></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
For example:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>plant=tree</div>
<div>tree=oak</div>
<div>species=<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:
sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><i><a

I suggest to amend the species type with the latin
classification<br>
scheme, like it is in use for natural=tree. This permits to<br>
unambigously tag the specific plants. The suggested
plant-tag could be<br>
used as preliminary / rough tag to make differences between
trees,<br>
grass, etc.<br>
<br>
