I have updated the table with that information as best I can understand it. Please check what I've done and let me know how to correct it if I got it wrong. It was a little confusing.

My translation tables contain exactly the Russian values that the author of the asset meant and they often don't use official names, but colloquial ones.

Can see this in more detail in Russian Linguistic Dictionary for ЁЛКА (ЕЛЬ): https://lingvostranovedcheskiy.academic.ru/173/ЁЛКА_(ЕЛЬ)
Short in english: Ёлка - colloquial name for official name Ель.

Осока - Cárex in Latin: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Осока
I do not know exactly how it is in English, but a direct translation: Осока - Sedge

Just a clarification. My translations from Latin to Russian are completely accurate and this is exactly what the author of the asset meant.
My English translation is just an online translator, and I was hoping that someone who knows English well would translate it most accurately.

Many of us in the northern hemisphere share similar flora and your translations and those done by Deane are fine.

Knowing that a dub is an oak goes a very long way. It beat seeing a name such as Tree 10 - 50m and end up placing a bunch of different ones in order to find which tree is needed for the area.
 
Today we welcome the long-overdue addition of Español to our translation table. For this, we must thank prolific creator Frank_Dean. 🙏

Along with the translations, he provided this qualifying note;

"I am not an expert on trees and their species, but I have tried to translate the names of the trees in your list into Spanish or Castilian Spanish. Keep in mind that there may be some unintentional errors or omissions since in Spain there are 4 different languages (Spanish, Basque, Catalan and Galician) and perhaps depending on the region of Spain a tree may have a different name. Also keep in mind that in Central and South America different varieties of Spanish are spoken and there may be some small difference, something similar to the differences in English in Australia, UK, USA, Canada, India.... etc"
