Topic: Laminaria puzzle
I notice that Laminaria saccharina does not seem to be associated with any higher taxa in a report, as below.
Fields ouput are, in order
Recommended Taxon Name without Sub-genus
Recommended Common Name/Taxon Group
Taxon Family
Taxon Order
Taxon Class
Taxon Phylum
Taxon Kingdom
Taxon Group
Two adjacent records are:
Laminaria hyperborea Kelp Laminariaceae Laminariales Phaeophyceae Ochrophyta Chromista chromist
Laminaria saccharina chromist chromist
For saccharina, only the Taxon Group shows - twice, as the group and the 'common name'. That too is odd - is Sugar Kelp not one of a few standard common names?
