This template 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 and the combination of the two.

Usage

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

Subspecies only

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 →
Template:Taxobox/core

Variety only

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".
Template:Taxobox/core

Subspecies and variety

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.
Template:Taxobox/core

Authorities

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 →
Template:Taxobox/core

Warning

As of February 2012, this template has not been tested with many of the other possible parameters!
