Isn't "product" refering to an object? Might be suitable for plants, but for animals I'm not sure it is a nice tag. My suggestion for "plant" was based on the wiki description on the plant nursery page which states that this tag is to map the type of plant that is grown, so this would enhance consistency in this page, but I recall that for similar use cases there are also other tags in use, like - "produce" (for agricultural stuff) http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:produce - "product" (for industrial goods and similar): http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:product - "crop" (for the type of crop on cultivated land) http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:crop - "trees" for the types of trees on an orchard http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Key:trees so "produce:genus" might be a better option than the aforementioned "plant:genus". Usage (taginfo): plant: 896 produce: 8 493 product: 677 crop: 73 337 (but not all are about produce, there are also 9K "yes", 6K "field_cropland" etc.) trees: 33 608 (often not applicable for plant nurseries) cheers, Martin
