Comment: The USDA source file is broken currently. Emailed to USDA plants contact to see whether this is a temporary problem - it is still linked from their site as the download link: http://plants.usda.gov/dl_all.html

USDA claims its temporarily:
{quote}yes, this is a temporary problem.  Recently we posted an updated PLANTS checklist to the website but in the last week or so it seems to have gone missing.  Several people have written to us to ask about this problem. Hopefully we will have it corrected in the next week or so. {quote}

Comment: reindexed a newer version of USDA and its proper data again. Even if not all species are linked to proper kingdoms
