Hi, A verbatim record of a sugenus http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969508/verbatim results in a name usage record http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969508 where genus name, instead of subgenus name, treated as the canonical name.
I suspect it is issue at the data sorurce, because Ficus (Diconoficus) is the generic part of species name under the subgenus such as Ficus (Diconoficus) gayana but never a subgenus name itself. Looking at species record under the subgenus, however, e.g. http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969511/verbatim http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/100969511 gives Ficus gayana as the canonical name. This interpretation, i.e. omitting subgenus part from a canonical name, might be issue of data parsing. Or, is it an extpected client task to check verbatim records also? Regards, James
