Description: According to http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0146894 there are occurrence records in GBIF which lack an infraspecifcEpithet in the scientificName field.

E.g. the following should result in a full scientificName "Abies alba subsp. alpina":

scientificName = Abies alba
infraspecificEpithet = alpina
taxonRank = subspecies
