Register a taxon manually

Add a taxonomic name to the project registry for specimen identification.

Steps

1. Open the project dashboard and locate Taxon Registry.
2. Select Add taxon and stay on the Manual mode.
3. Choose the Taxon rank this record represents, then fill in the name fields it shows.
4. Add authorship, vernacular name, conservation status, or notes when available.
5. Save and confirm that the taxon appears in the project registry.

Tip

Register a family or genus when material is not yet identified to species, then refine the record later.

To correct one specimen, change its selected taxon. Edit the registry only when the shared name record needs correction.
