Organics tab in system map UI should list undiscovered organic type

Pretty much as the title says. When looking at the organics tab for a world with biologicals, instead of listing them as "Undiscovered Organic" it should list them as "Undiscovered <Phenotype>" to make it easier to find them. Doing it this way would at least let us know which filter we need to set on our DSS. This would be especially helpful when you're landing on worlds that have a lot of different organics and multiples of the same phenotype. Unless I missed something, as it stands you have no way of knowing what plant type you're looking for.

But .. it's undiscovered...
 
I get that. I'm not saying you should see what it looks like or anything. But if my DSS can tell that there's these types of plants on the surface, surely it can at least tell me what type I'm looking for, no? It's not a big issue when you land on a planet that only has one or two biological types but I found a planet a while back that had 8 different biological types and 9-10 different organics on the surface. I eventually gave up on finding the others because I couldn't figure out what type of plant I'm even looking for to try and narrow down where to look for them.
 
This is still an issue. Like Jeebs said, DSS lists the general type of organic before you've scanned them on the surface, but the system map info still doesn't which is inconsistent
 
Have you found my socks? They aren't in my codex, but certainly count as organic and alive, and I lost them near a Beagle I was pointing at.
