FloraNER is a Named-Entity Recognition (NER) dataset for botanical french literature. The dataset covers plant species names and plant morphological terms for both plant organs/characteristics and their descriptors. the descriptors are annotated both in a coarse-grained manner as the named entity type "DESCRIPTOR" and in a fine-grained manner, categorized into the following named-entity types: Form, Measure, Surface, Color, Position, Disposition, Structure, and Development. FloraNER is distantly annotated using a specialized botanical corpus. Consequently, it's important to note that not all named entities within the text are captured and annotated for the coarse-grained and fine-grained datasets.
