From Jim Croft.

The first page is a mistake - either in the data or in the rendering. The zoological code allows free standing parenthetical authors, but the botanical code does not.

Another comment from Jim:

If you are going to render plant names without authurs, which is most instances is quite acceptable, remove the whole author string.
