Rich, it is not a question of __formatting__; concatenation is just
not possible, you have to parse into EVERY name, take it apart,
determine whether it is an autonym, and if so __insert__ the author at
the correct position for botanical names.
I understand this is tough on Zoologists :-), but I therefore propose
verbatimScientificName
scientificName
scientificNameAuthorship,
scientificNameWithAuthorship
This covers all cases in my opinion. The comments should express, that
scientificNameWithAuthorship should follow allow canonical name rules
and recommendations of the respective Code.
