More details on the name parameter: Tropicos will fail
if you include a period (.) in your name string, e.g., var.,
so we replace periods before the request is made to the Tropicos web service.
In addition, Tropicos for some reason doesn't want to see sub-specific rank
names like var/subsp, so remove those from your query.
