       | Very cool! For people interested in plants and where they come
       | from, I'd recommend the youtube channel Crime Pays But Botany
       | Doesn't
       | 
       | And for books I've been going through Botany In A Day and the
       | really highly recommended Plant Systematics

       | Thank you for bringing this to the front page!

       | The thought process behind finding this went somewhat as follows:
       | 
       | iPod to iPhone transition gave more input devices (notes, camera)
       | -> what about all senses? (eyes: camera/screen, ears:
       | headphones/microphone, touch: touchscreen/vibration, nose:
       | perfume, new box smell, mouth: food)
       | 
       | For people who don't like reading text (e.g. my girlfriend),
       | could make a portable device for other things. That then led to
       | thinking of a CD binder for scents that girls could swap in
       | school not a shopping mall (and activate by just adding water).
       | Google helped me find 68,000 fragrances categorised on
       | https://www.fragrantica.com/
       | 
       | Then I searched with Google again, for an index of spices for
       | taste. And found Gernot Katzer's index from 2002, so posted it
       | here! Glad to see that you're also interested in making indexes
       | :)

       | It's really funny for me to see Gernot Katzers page linked on HN
       | for something related to spices. I was a regular visitor to his
       | site during my time in academia, looking up character tables for
       | algebraic point groups used in molecular chemistry:
