This little snippet should get you most of the way: 
use HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath;

my $html = q|<div class="listing">
Agave parryi&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
...
</div>|;

$html =~ s/&nbsp;/ /g;
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new_from_content($html);
my @nodes = $tree->findnodes('//div[@class="listing"]');
for my $node (@nodes) {
    my @contents = $node->content_list;
    for my $content (@contents) {
        if (ref $content) {
            my $text = $content->as_text or next;
            my $tag = $content->tag;
            print "<$tag> $text\n\n";
        }
        else {
            print "$content\n\n";
        }
    }
}
