Parse scientific names

Atomises one or more scientific names into their nomenclatural components (genus, epithets, rank, authorship, ...) using the GBIF name parser exposed by ChecklistBank.

Usage

clb_parse_name(name, authorship = NULL, rank = NULL, code = NULL, .raw = FALSE)

Arguments

name

A character vector of scientific names (may include authorship).

authorship

Optional authorship string (used when a single name is supplied without its author).

rank

Optional rank hint (e.g. "species").

code

Optional nomenclatural code hint.

.raw

Return the raw parsed JSON instead of a tibble?

Value

A tibble with one row per input name and columns such as scientificName, authorship, rank, genus, specificEpithet, type and parsed. Nested fields (e.g. combinationAuthorship) are returned as list-columns.
