Recording subspecies

  • ghewson by ghewson

    (http://talk.notesfromnature.org/#/subjects/ANN00002de) has, underneath the species and scientific author, "ssp. elliottii". This is presumably a subspecies. I'm going to include the subspecies in the scientific name and separate the scientific authors of the main and sub-species with "/", as "L. / (Torrey & Gray", etc. I hope this is OK. Is there a recognised convention for this?

    I would do this as
    'Aster puniceus elliottii' for the name
    &
    '(Torrey & Grey) A.G. Jones' for the author leaving out the 'L.' from the species name
