"Other" species category is sensitive to user input #653

Existing entries need not change, but it could be useful to rethink how species in the "Other" category are selected.

User entry creates unintentional redundancy in species (particularly in terms of searching) in relation to species name:
Atlantic white-cedar != Atlantic white cedar != atlantic white cedar, etc.

Perhaps, "Other" needs an expanded drop-down of possible native species to select from to enforce uniform entry as opposed to user entry, which would not disrupt the current "Other" database architecture.
