Looks like the issue is with GBIF’s handling of data, rather than the data source itself.

<div class="">For the subgenus we have <a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969508" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969508</a>:</div>

<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">"scientificName":"Ficus (Diconoficus)”,</div>

<div class="">"canonicalName":”Ficus”,</div>

<div class="">"authorship":" (Diconoficus)”</div>

<div class=""><br class="">

</div>

<div class="">so the subgenus has mistakenly been treated as the authorship of the name. </div>

<div class=""><br class="">

</div>

<div class="">For the species, GBIF ignores subgenera and so regards <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Ficus gayana as the canonical name.</span></div>
