Create fake taxonomic names
Usage
ch_taxonomic_genus(n = 1, locale = "en_US")
ch_taxonomic_epithet(n = 1, locale = "en_US")
ch_taxonomic_species(n = 1, locale = "en_US")
Names
Names were taken from Theplantlist. 500 genera names and 500
epithets were chosen at random from the set of 10,000 names in the
dataset in the taxize
package. Theplantlist is, as it says on the
tin, composed of plant names - so these fake names are derived from
plant names if that matters to you. These may generate names that match
those of real taxa, but may not as well.
Taxonomic authority
Randomly, the taxonomic authority is in parentheses - which represents that the given authority was not the original authority.
