Description
Split a supplied hybrid-cross label at one separator.
Taxonomic names, authorship strings, nomenclatural types and source-defined taxon concepts are related but distinct records. A literal token parser or source-label comparison can preserve a stated convention without resolving accepted taxonomy or establishing compliance with the applicable nomenclatural code.
Split a supplied hybrid-cross label at one separator.
When to use this tool
Use Taxonomic Name Hybrid Cross Token when checking the stated taxonomic source, name-token, date or concept-support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter name, separator. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read first, second. Use the output convention below.
Split a supplied hybrid-cross label at one separator. Accept separator space-multiplication-sign-space or space-x-space; require exactly two nonempty parts and preserve them literally.1

"separator": " × "
},
"output": {
"first": "Aus bus",
"second": "Cus dus"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Component names are not parsed or validated; a written cross does not establish hybrid origin, parentage or nomenclatural status.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original taxonomic treatment and applicable nomenclatural code, and use source-aware taxonomic resolution for accepted names, priority or type status.
