+1. It's not a "Latin name", but the scientific name itself. Your comparison with amenity=school doesn't fit, either: we're not doing natural=tree, natural:it=albero, natural:fr=arbre. Also, for name=* tags I thought the convention was to use the local name, for example name=Torino, name:en=Turin. After all, "Torino" is the name of the place, and "Turin" is how English-speaking people call it. regards > Peter Ciao, Simone
