AFAIK, botanical species only have two elements, so many of these
'species' are actually varieties.
Row 78 says 'Cedrus SPP': this means /Cedrus/ spp., i.e. /Cedrus/
species (plural), i.e. multiple species of the /Cedrus/ genus (cedar).
In rows 88-98, the contents of column A seem to be truncated: do you
want people to edit column A to supply the missing characters, or would
that bugger up what you're trying to do with this dataset?
Did they create row 383 or did you? Looks like an Easter egg!
