• Generic, species, and infraspecific taxa are all allowed within a checklist. The Checklist Display page fully reflects the taxonomic option of the author (which names are "accepted" or not).

This ensures that only one single taxonomy is displayed within all keys and confusion over nomenclature is reduced for the end user.
