Why does "Viola nuttallii" match "Viola" (Levenshtein distance=10) at Overall Score=0.50 whereas "Viola nuttalium" (Levenshtein distance=3) does not, even if you lower the match threshold to zero? Of course, Levenshtein distance is only one component of the Overall Score, but still, LD=3 is a way closer match than LD=10.

Also note that "Viola nuttallium" matches to "Viola nuttallii" with an Overall Score of 0.96, despite differing by an addition of only one letter from "Viola nuttalium".
