This template does not correctly handle hybrids and botanical infraspecific ranks, since the whole of the taxon name is italicized, whereas "×", "subsp.", "var.", etc. should not be italicized. So it should not be used in such cases unless and until this is fixed. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:11, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
