repeated "infraspecies" tag in json output

abubelinha commented 3 years ago

I am trying gnparser for the first time, so I might be misunderstanding the detailed output. I think there is a confusing json tag:

C:\gnparser-v1.3.3-win-64\gnparser -f pretty -d "Prosthechea cochleata (L.) W.E.Higgins var. grandiflora (Mutel) Christenson subvar. inventata Abu"

OUTPUT: Look inside the "details" part. There is a first "infraspecies" tag, which looks a bit strange to me. Shouldn't it be better called "supraspecies", "above-species" or something alike? Inside that one, there is another "infraspecies" tag which makes more sense to me (it contains a list of infraspecific ranks). But of course I see the problems in changing tags (many applications which depend on gnparser could stop working properly).

The first 'infraspecies' tag explains a "type" of a whole name, 'Aus' would be 'uninomial', 'Aus bus' would be 'species', 'Aus bus cus' would be 'infraspecies'.

The second tag is describing details for infraspecies section of a name

Ah OK, that makes sense.

Thanks a lot for the explanation.
