Higher-taxonomy lookup for TPL-known hybrids
Not high-priority but...
I would like to be able to lookup the higher-level taxonomy of names that are Hybrids, that TPL has data for e.g. × Elyhordeum chatangensis (Roshev.) Tzvelev http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-387028 (Accepted).
It seems like this should be possible, if TPL has data on the name

genus family order group
1 Pinus Pinaceae Pinales Gymnosperms
2 × <NA> <NA> <NA>
> lookup_table(c("Pinus","×Elyhordeum chatangensis"),missing_action="NA")
genus family order group
1 Pinus Pinaceae Pinales Gymnosperms
2 ×Elyhordeum <NA> <NA> <NA>
> lookup_table(c("Pinus","Elyhordeum chatangensis"),missing_action="NA")
genus family order group
1 Pinus Pinaceae Pinales Gymnosperms
2 Elyhordeum <NA> <NA> <NA>
Desired output/behaviour:

genus family order group
1 Pinus Pinaceae Pinales Gymnosperms
2 × Elyhordeum Poaceae Poales Angiosperms
