how to get the number of species covered in TB? #104

@gsautter how can we find out how man species are covered in TB?

using verbatim taxononomic Name is providing a number too large, couting each indivudal spelling, including or omitting authority etc.

Not an easy thing to do via the stats, I'm afraid ... the most reliable lower estimate (short of some custom counting scrip) is the unique combinations of kingdom, genus, and species (which I can get from the treatment stats via SQL) ...

Not counting subspecies and varieties, this returns 593,560 unique combinations. 510,159 when ignoring stubs.
