Infraspecific names matched to species in strict mode

[peterdesmet]

The following infraspecific plant names are all matches to SPECIES:

Dinebra decipiens (R. Brown) P.M. Peterson & N. Snow subsp. decipiens
Dinebra panicea (Retz.) P.M. Peterson & N. Snow var. brachiata (Steud.) P.M. Peterson & N. Snow
Mentha x piperita L. nsubsp. piperita
Oxybasis glauca (L.) Fuentes & al. var. salina (Standley) Verloove
Salix x sepulcralis Simonk. nvar. chrysocoma (Dode) Meikle

Example:

It seems to me you are not URL encoding the ampersand which leads at least in the following cases to shortened species names being submitted:

• Dinebra decipiens (R. Brown) P.M. Peterson & N. Snow subsp. decipiens --> Dinebra decipiens (R. Brown) P.M. Peterson
• Dinebra panicea (Retz.) P.M. Peterson & N. Snow var. brachiata (Steud.) P.M. Peterson & N. Snow --> Dinebra panicea (Retz.) P.M. Peterson
• Oxybasis glauca (L.) Fuentes & al. var. salina (Standley) Verloove --> Oxybasis glauca (L.) Fuentes

The other cases have wrong rank markers. nsubsp. is not recognized and the name parser considers this a species:

• Mentha x piperita L. nsubsp. piperita --> Mentha x piperita L. parser
• Salix x sepulcralis Simonk. nvar. chrysocoma (Dode) Meikle --> Salix x sepulcralis Simonk.
