Excellent point re: latin names. I encounter a lot of people who think they're an unnecessary fuss but they are vital for correct identification. For example, the plant referred to as a bluebell in england is called something completely different in scotland - so easy for mistakes to happen.
I was also wondering if we will be able to cite sources or evidence in the finished database. The main problem I have when researching diet online is whether a source is reliable or not - if a website says "Plant X is safe" how do I know whether to trust it or not? Does the writer have solid evidence or is it just that they fed the plant once and their rabbit didn't die?
Not sure how to achieve this. But something to think about maybe.
