Comments¶
Instead of the abbreviated nomenclatural reference, we need a link to the actual reference (Irina).
there is a URL field available for every reference. its just not yet included in the webeditor
A genus name needs a type species and a qualifier (?), e.g. "monotypy", "original designation" or "subsequent designation", in which case it would need the link to the reference of the subsequent designation (Irina).
