Does the USDA file put genus, species and varietal name in 3 different

Thanks for the posts. I have found a few. I had already looked at
the USDA csv, but it's over 200k plants, many of which are weeds or
food crop. It would be rather time consuming to go through and pick
out the plants significant to landscaping.

I'll check out the links you guys gave. Most of the stuff I have
found, people want to sell their database. I'm willing to trade the
information with anyone else who has info, so it's not like I'm only
looking to receive.

Thanks again for all the leads.

No. It puts it all in one field. So after having to sort thru 200k
of plants to find out the ones significant to landscaping, I'd have to
transform it. After all that, it is missing all of the relevant
criteria to select a plant for a landscape project. It seems to me
that it is more trouble than it's worth just to get the scientific/
common name and nothing else.
