I have no idea - uF are concerned with webpages, so you're
real life 
example is going off track.

However as you seemingly want to go down this route, you
have yet again 
highlighted an example where knowing a genus and species is
only of use 
to those select few people (relative to the world) who work
in a garden 
centre or who have a keen interest in horticulture.

Even taking a genus such as Chrysanthemum, this is also its
vernacular 
name, so knowing there are ~30 species of chrysanthemum is
of little 
relevance to those not in the above groups, and certainly
does not fall 
within the 80/20 concept.

I can't see how you can compare the usage that this
knowledge presents 
to that of the usage of dates, currency, events, people,
etc.
