Many of the algae species/families/orders that are referenced in this dataset are not yet recognised, but more should be recognised during a reprocessing after the new name matching algorithm is published, based on manually checking them at the dev version:

Load of this scheduled into jenkins, but cannot index them during the week due to the use of ala-rufus as the live production index. Will need to wait for Monday/next week to be able to search for the records.
