unrealistic, the botanist didnt reply "ah yes, it is the humble [some latin bullshit], my fifth favorite tree in its order, most noteworthy for the shape of its leaves. it's actually most closely related to carrots." and then, of course, add "fuck yeah big tree"
I can understand your sentiment, but when I look at a giant black maple and say, "yeah this thing is related to lychee fruits", I'm not saying it to be a snob. I just think the world is an amazing place and love to share it
