I'd be willing to help you. The largest dychotomic key [1] is partially digitised but we could transform it into a proper dataset. Copyright no longer applies to part on the Flora. There are many other sources. I remember dychotomic key in hypercard [2].

Scanning 81 million science paper pdfs will yield most of the data in [1] and [2]. It would be possible to get a grant to make these transformations and add them to Plantnet and iNaturalist.
