The list of scientific names includes about 58000 tree species. The scientific name should be unique. Nevertheless, it is recommended to use the unique ID offered for clear and short identification beyond your own software.
The current locales files include one ore more translations of the scientific name.
The length of the list of translations varies. Only species that provide a translation are listed.
Create an issue for feature or language requests.
The scientific names are taken from GlobalTreeSearch.
Translations are automatically generated using the Wikipedia API.
