Botanical authors of genera are parsed as subgenus. #51

Having issues with genera like Cheilolejeunea (Spruce) Steph. The "Spruce" is being interpreted as a subgenus, when it is an authority. In the botanical code the original authority is often retained and placed in parentheses after someone else (in this case "Steph.") has revised the genus. I think the Genus (Subgenus) pattern is common in the zoological code. We need to be able to tell the difference and get it right.

One thing that comes to mind, is to "rebrand" subgenus as an author, if names come from botanical list
