Description
Split a restricted cf.
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 restricted cf.
When to use this tool
Use Taxonomic Name Qualifier Cf Aff 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. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read genus, qualifier, epithet. Use the output convention below.
Split a restricted cf. or aff. qualified name. Require the exact capitalized ASCII genus, spaced qualifier cf./aff. and lowercase ASCII/hyphen epithet pattern; preserve each field.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| name | Name | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| genus | Genus | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| qualifier | Qualifier | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| epithet | Epithet | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"name": "Aus cf. bus"
},
"output": {
"genus": "Aus",
"qualifier": "cf.",
"epithet": "bus"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Qualifier meanings vary by annotation practice; the parser does not establish identification confidence, affinity or valid nomenclature.
- 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.
