The genus:wikidata=* tag is a machine-readable form of genus=*/species=*/taxon=*. The value must be the Wikidata ID of an item that is representing a genus.
It can be used for plants that do not have their own Wikidata item and are not relevant enough to justify their own Wikidata item. Instead of creating a Wikidata item for those plants, add the genus:wikidata=* tag to the OSM object with the Wikidata ID of the relevant taxon as value.
This tag may also be used for attraction=animal.
Please also add the genus=*/species=*/taxon=* tag to these OSM objects, this key is not intended as a replacement for human readable tags, rather as a supplement to uniquely identify a genus.
More specific species:wikidata=* and genus:wikidata=* are also in use.
