  2. Plant-specific keys: name_lat, family, name-link, and references are heavily used for botanical content
  3. Content organization: zymos (tags) and layout are used for content organization and presentation
  4. Migration artifacts: original_url and some legacy fields from the WordPress migration
  5. Specialized content: Keys like captions and species are used for specific content types

This comprehensive front matter system allows the Hugo site to maintain rich metadata for botanical content while supporting flexible content organization and presentation.
