I was prompted to create this based on this discussion and I have previously thought this would be a useful addition to plant external IDs. Pauljmackay (talk) 09:22, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that the RHS is apparently using their own database of plant names that is not always congruent with the other databases that already have properties on Wikidata. These plants are landscaping, agricultural and garden plants, and are often commercially available. Consequently, they average one or two orders of magnitude more pageviews on Wikipedia than species without human usage, so additional data on them would be very helpful for editors and the readership.
