Taxonomic Name

The header shows the name, the ID and the version of the name - these data can not be edited. If a dataset should be ignored, check the checkbox “Ignore”. In the last field you can enter a revision level for the dataset. If you want to inspect the history of a dataset click on the  button.

Data concering the taxonomic name including the authors are entered in the corresponding area (see image below).

Depending on the taxonomic rank, the form will show only the fields available for this rank.

If the genus is linked to an entry in the database, the field for the genus will change as shown here and the program will not allow you to edit the name. To edit the genus of the name, click the button to release the link to the genus. The list of genera is restricted to the project you selected. If a hierarchy is availble for the selected genus the hierarchy will be automatically inserted for the current name.

If the name is a hybrid , check the checkbox “Is hybrid” to get access to the fields for hybridization.
