R synonymy function
two R functions to take a species binomial and generate a synonymized binomial that matches the USDA plant traits database.  Requires that the usda taxa checklist is loaded in R as a dataframe called usda_names.  Ideally used only on names that do not match the USDA checklist already, as it is slow.  Also includes a function to take a multinomial (eg genus species variety author) and parse it into genus species.
