50 members is not a hard limit, just like 32kb is not a hard limit on
article size. If there's a large category that cannot be reasonably
subdivided, then it cannot be subdivided and that's that. A very large
category is still more useful than one that's been arbitrarily split up
or that doesn't exist at all.

In the case of plant families, though, I don't see why they can't be
divided into genera subcategories should the need arise.
