Instructions for ChatGPT
Please generate a complete entry for the Species at the Finca category, based on the Latin plant name provided below.
Only use the official emojis that are displayed on the website. Do not use emojis in subcategories (e.g., “Growth and Structure”).
All content must be written in full sentences – no bullet points or lists, as the fields are plain text.
Focus on species that grow in Costa Rica. Do not describe individual plants from our finca – those will be handled in a separate table (“Individuals in the Field”).
Pay attention to the correct use of dropdown fields:

Non-climacteric, Slightly climacteric, Moderately climacteric, Strongly climacteric, Unknown, Irrelevant (not consumed successfully by humans)

Reminder:
Even for plants where the fruit is not used, the fields Climacteric Category and Common Fruit Traits must still be completed to ensure database consistency.
– For Climacteric Category, enter:
“Irrelevant (not consumed successfully by humans)”
– Do not describe fruit traits in Common Fruit Traits if irrelevant. Instead, describe typical characteristics of the used part (e.g. leaves, seeds) in other sections like General Use or Harvest Notes.
✅ Example: For Ocimum basilicum (basil), the leaves are used, not the fruit.
→ Climacteric Category = Irrelevant (not consumed successfully by humans)
→ Leaf properties like aroma, tenderness, and perishability are described in General Use or Harvest Notes
→ Climacteric Category Notes explains why the fruit is considered irrelevant.
