It supplies common names only and cites no underlying list or method. Ingestion therefore remains at genus rank: 72 unique source labels have a conservative genus identity, collapsing to 63 exact accepted-GBIF evidence owners. Arborvitae, pine straw, and Cleyera are held because the labels do not support a single safe genus mapping; the repeated Spirea bullet is represented once. No species were inferred from common names.
