Description: Following on from an earlier version of this issue http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-3201 there are multiple names in the  RB - Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden Herbarium Collection dataset http://www.gbif.org/dataset/4300f8d5-1ae5-49e5-a101-63894b005868 that ar not parsed correctly, including many type specimens.

One problem is that the dataset has scientific names such as "ELAEOCARPACEAE Sloanea verrucosa Ducke" http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1424254056/verbatim which combines family, genus, species, and author (these are all available as separate fields).

I guess either (a) we ask the data providers to fix this and provide just the scientific name, or (b) we need a custom parser to handle these names.]]>
