Ask HN: Where to get data for a Web/iPhone app idea?

2 pointsby bioweekover 15 years ago
So I want to make an app that tells you all poisonous plants that you could potentially encounter in your location, with pictures, etc.<p>Is there any way to get A.) a list of poisonous plants across the world. and B.) The geographic coordinates of the plants' ranges? I'd be happy even with just a shaded map, and figuring out the boundaries from that.<p>(Poisonous to touch would be fine, I probably wouldn't add poisonous to eat since that's probably a lot of plants.)
