No, I want to put the species, genus, common name and produce into OSM wherever possible. As others have noted, it's not quite that straightforward though Wikipedia is a good starting point. As for row 383 - brilliant! I'm guessing someone added that into the Google doc, I'll look for it in the original datasource when I next go back to it. I created the Google doc by just pulling out all the unique species entries in the shapefile and slapping it up online to attract helpful people's contributions.
