Description
Preserve an explicitly supplied botanical name and authority.
Botanical analytical records connect voucher identities, plant parts, extraction wording, moisture basis and marker units. A dry-basis fraction uses dry mass as its denominator, while a printed drug-extract ratio still needs its stated basis. Source labels and arithmetic do not authenticate a medicinal plant, establish potency or determine safe herbal use.
Preserve an explicitly supplied botanical name and authority.
When to use this tool
Use Medicinal Plant Authority Name when you already have recordId, scientificName, suppliedAuthority and need to preserve an explicitly supplied botanical name and authority.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recordId, scientificName, suppliedAuthority. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter recordId, scientificName, suppliedAuthority using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without authenticating taxonomy or medicinal identity. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- 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
Review the original voucher, analytical method, moisture basis and reference-material documentation. Botanical identity, extraction basis and marker quantity require their own evidence; a recorded ratio or mass-basis conversion does not establish equivalence or medicinal suitability.
