Common misspellings #18

There are some common prefixes/suffixes which are spelt differently to given accepted names and make name matching difficult. For example Urechites karwinsky in (B. del Castillo et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1970, 11, 1219 - 1220.) refers to Urechites karwinskii Müll.Arg.. This name won't be appropriately matched in the current version. It is also not matched by the Kew Name Matching Service
