All the known species of flowering plants are documented. By definition there is an holotype and a paper describing it, but often is a pain to unbury the info. It happens all the time in taxonomy; lots of old documents are not in digital format other are in a different country and you need to lend books and journals in other countries or to ask for obscure papers on forums. Some species are forgotten except by maybe ten people in the planet able to differenciate it.
This is a quest to put photos of all the species in one single place, but 1) there are a lot of digital herbariums around yet promoted by universities and 2) this is a battle that google won long time ago.
Simply, this is a too big goal for two people only, and there is not need to duplicate efforts in another page like this. Just correcting and keeping trace of the everchanging scientific names would need an entire team of experts. You just can't build a "wikipedia level" webpage alone.
Would be much better to use their resources improving the red lists of endangered flora for example.
