Wave 4 Findings

Date: 2026-03-12

Scope:

• tree
• large
• patterned
• flowering

Changes applied to source data:

• Removed patterned from Acer palmatum (Faecherahorn)
• Removed patterned from Beta vulgaris (Mangold)
• Removed large from Buxus sempervirens (Buchsbaum)
• Removed large from Ilex aquifolium (Stechpalme)
• Removed large from Prunus laurocerasus (Kirschlorbeer)
• Removed large from Thaumatophyllum xanadu (Philodendron Xanadu)
• Removed tree from Coffea arabica Nana (Kaffeepflanze arabica nana)

Evidence basis used:

• patterned is treated as a foliage-pattern identity tag, not a generic color, form, or ornamental-value tag
• large is treated conservatively for clearly size-defining growth, not as an automatic consequence of every tree/shrub import
• tree on the dwarf coffee plant was too broad in the current houseplant context

Deliberately not changed in this wave:

• flowering received no source-data changes because the current set looked locally coherent enough for this pass
• borderline foliage cases like Monstera obliqua remained unchanged because its fenestrated leaf look can still be argued as a visual-pattern discovery target
• clearly large species and true tree-form entries were left intact

Operational note:

• These source changes do not update the persisted backend catalog automatically.
• Production still needs a catalog rebuild via server/scripts/rebuild-from-batches.js and a deploy.
