What is pfid? Is it documented anywhere? We need documentation attached to this table.
If it means "plant family id" then the rows above have inconsistent values for pfid and family

ACTION do we need pfid at all? It can be deduced from the species

Greetings Sir!
pfid is a foreign key to the previous family table. According to me, pfid does not have to be included in the table as the family is specifically mentioned.
