Example:
- natural=tree
- genus=Quercus (or genus:en=oak) would be omitted if species is set
- species=Quercus robur (or species:de=Stieleiche or species:en=English Oak or species:en=French oak or ...)
As you can see in this example, there are often several common names to refer in the same language to the same species. This is mostly avoided with scientific names.
