Unique names from occurrences supplied to GBIF from publishers that have received the taxon match higher rank flag.

• other: means that my alogrithm could not find a good reason for this name not matching. This could be a misspelling or the name could be missing from the GBIF backbone. These are names that might reflect data gaps.
• unmatchable name: is a catch-all group for poorly formatted or unmatchable names. (see Table 1).
• hybrid (hybrid formula): means the name refers to a hybrid. We expect poor checklist coverage for hybrid names.
• below species: means a name at a taxonomic rank below the species level could not be matched at that level. Usually we expect less checklist coverage for subspecies and varieties.
• too many choices: GBIF has two or more names with different authorship (homonyms), but the publisher does not provide authorship and/or higher taxonomy, so the name cannot be matched unambiguously.
