dwc:infraspecificEpithet
A term from the Darwin Core standard:
The name of the lowest or terminal infraspecific epithet of the dwc:scientificName, excluding any rank designation.
Notes
In botany, name strings in literature and identifications may have multiple infraspecific ranks. According to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Schenzhen Code Articles 6.7 & Art. 24.1), valid names only have two epithets, with the lowest rank being the dwc:infraspecificEpithet. For example: the dwc:infraspecificEpithet in the string Indigofera charlieriana subsp. sessilis var. scaberrima is scaberrima and the https://app.pollinatorhub.eu/vocabulary/classes/7464 is Indigofera charlieriana var. scaberrima (Schinz) J.B.Gillett. Use dwc:verbatimIdentification for the full name string used in a dwc:Identification.
