Not to mention cultivar names, apparently. Actually, being usually an
inhabitant of alt.usage.english and such word-places, I found the
guessing game moderately entertaining.

Am I, do you think, wrong in fancying I detected possible evidence of OCR?

No, that is quite clear. However it was already pointed out much earlier:

You seem to have mixed Italian and botanical names, and descriptions,
without any punctuation or formatting to separate them, so the list is
confused, especially as I have hardly any Italian. It also looks as it's
been unsuccessfully OCRed, with the presence of 1s (one's) in some of
the names, and frequent use of M for N. Possibly also spell-corrected as
if it was Italian.
