Missing speciesKey

Open peterdesmet opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

I noticed in a download that the species Ophioglossum vulgatum L. does not have a speciesKey. Is this an error?

Compare e.g. with https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/3659487

It also doesn't have a species.

I don't know how that would have happened, perhaps @mdoering will.

I have no explanation, this is a bug. There are also synonyms in the list, e.g. the variety, but all should have a species/speciesKey

Found one more example, added to table above.
