Trefle is a botanical API and data source.
Trefle is an open botanical data source and REST API. It indexes about one million plants gathered from institutional sources and completed by hand by contributors. It is free for all. Type a scientific or common name. The API answer appears as it is returned, and as a page would display it. No account needed here. Trefle is still in beta. Some records are incomplete or not fully validated; missing values are labelled unknown rather than hidden. Each species page states its own completeness and lists what is missing. The database is not frozen. Contributors submit corrections every day; each one is reviewed before it is published. A plain REST API returning JSON. 60 requests per minute for…from trefle.io

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
