Vismia laurentii not found

[mlichtenberg]

The following feedback was received from a BHL user:

"Hi You seem to have missed Vismia laurentii from your index and I can't search for it as a species only as a phrase. I had to look up the original description in the journal: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/206854#page/471/mode/1up There is also another description of a variety on this page: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/36210317#page/69/mode/1up"

Testing gnfinder with the text found at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/pagetext/36210317 and https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/pagetext/50875791, I have confirmed that "Vismia laurentii" is not identified. In both cases, the name does appear correctly in the text, although in both cases "Laurentii" is capitalized.

It is a limitation we currently have. In old literature, the specific epithet is often capitalized. I did try to make capitalization optional in name finding, but it did cause an explosion of false positives. So we do not recognize capitalized epithets yet. It is possible to add an enhancement to bhlindex where we go over all generic occurrences and see if the next capitalized name can be interpreted as a specific epithet. I have this in plans, but not in the near future. If the name is written according to current rules, it is recognized:

I think now that we have https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/dimus/gnmatcher/1.0.0 it may be doable to verify every capitalized epithet. I will try to add it for the next version of gnfinder
