Hello,
Based on the input here, and the description of th natural=tree key,
I've ammended the plant nursery proposal:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant_nursery
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.
Additionally I've created a new draft which contains the plant proposal
itself, and the involved keys:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Plant
Kind regards,
Kenny Moens

I just took a quick look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species and
it says there are about 7 million identified species, or which plants
represent around 300k. On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree it
supplies a definition of a tree and common names used by most people
to identify a tree seem to have detailed wikipedia pages
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak), which go on to link to specific
species (oak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Quercus_species).
It looks like a lot of the specifics can be directly referenced so it
wouldn't need to be duplicated in the OSM wiki.
Depending on how much the tagger wants to record, you could define a
tree node as follows:
plant=<type>, where type={tree, herb, bush, grass, vine, fern, moss,
green-algae}
<type>=<common name>
species=<latin classification>
For example:
plant=tree
tree=oak
species=/Quercus alba <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_alba>/

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