I am missing a canonical name including authorship. Rebuilding the
canonical name from name without authorship and authorship requires
parsing into the name, determining whether the name is an autonym, and
if so, rebuilding. Assuming not separate autonym status is
transmitted, this means parsing EVERY name before being able to output
a name with authors.

scientificName: Lobelia spicata var. spicata
scientificNameAuthorship: Lam.
-> Lobelia spicata Lam. var. spicata
