rank field in matches does not appear to be filled in

[mtholder]

maybe it is just wrong for some queries.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type":"application/json" -H "Accept":"application/json" http://api.opentreeoflife.org/v2/tnrs/match_names --data '{"do_approximate_matching": false, "names": ["Homo sapiens"]}'

produces:

note the empty rank string and the fact that rank is specified as species in OTT 2.8

See 64a93be3515837e79d55b0d87d8bbd99a26d0086 on v3 branch

[jar398]

The v3 API is showing "rank" : "species" for this call. No idea what the problem is/was but I'm sure you'll report it if you see it again.
