This has just been pointed out to me. I've filed an issue with iD on 
Github: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/3377

At the moment the bulk of values in Genus are sensible & according with 
Botanical nomenclature, so let's keep it that way!

I'm not sure if there is a single good worldwide open source of plant 
genera. The obvious candidate is The Plant List, but this is
closed, see Roderic Page's blog post:
