The Template:Infraspeciesbox displays an automatic taxobox for a rank lower than species (an infraspecific rank) for taxa governed by the ICN  (the botanical code). For taxa governed by the ICZN  (the zoological code), see Template:Subspeciesbox.

At present it can only handle the ranks subspecies and variety or the combination of the two.

Usage మార్చు

The parameters are generally the same as Template:Subspeciesbox, which handles subspecies whose names are governed by the Zoological Code.

Subspecies only మార్చు

Suppose that a species called Yucca grandiflora has a subspecies Y. g. subsp. laxifolia. Then:

{{Infraspeciesbox
| genus = Yucca
| species = grandiflora
| subspecies = laxifolia
| authority = A.Anon
}}
generates →

Variety only మార్చు

Suppose that the species Yucca grandiflora has a variety Y. g. var. tenuifolia, with no intervening subspecies. Then:

{{Infraspeciesbox
| genus = Yucca
| species = grandiflora
| variety = tenuifolia
| authority = B.Anon
}}

generates →

Note the use of "variety" not "varietas".

Subspecies and variety మార్చు

Finally suppose that Y. g. var. tenuifolia is actually within Y. g. subsp. laxifolia. Then:

{{Infraspeciesbox
|genus = Yucca
|species = grandiflora
|subspecies = laxifolia
|variety = tenuifolia
|authority = B.Anon
}}

generates →

Note that the ICN does not allow Y. g. subsp. laxifolia var. tenuifolia as a name.

Authorities మార్చు

If for some reason it is desired to attach authorities, note carefully how this is done (at present):

{{Infraspeciesbox
| genus = Yucca
| grandparent_authority = D.Anon
| species = grandiflora
| binomial_authority = C.Anon
| subspecies = laxiflora
| subspecies_authority = A.Anon
| variety = tenuifolia
| authority = B.Anon
}}
generates →

Performance considerations మార్చు

As of February 2012, this template had not been tested with many of the other possible parameters. Because the template invokes Template:Taxobox/core, it is limited by resources used there, such as expansion depth of 39 levels.
