gnverifier -s 11 -M "Poa trivialis L." returns the following:

The correct result should be Poa trivialis L. (the second one). The first result, Poa trivialis Leers, 1775 is flagged as doubtful. I feel like regardless, Poa trivialis L. should get some points for having an exact match in the authorship. I understand how that might cause issues with incomplete/erroneous taxon records on GBIF though, so I am not sure of the best way to fix this.

I would think the author match would be fullInclusion not identical here but that might only work on multi-part author names?

hm, interesting case @larsgw. Currently sorting algorithm does not take in account 'exact match' of abbreviated author, although it might be beneficial for botanical names. I think it is worth a try to add it as a small advantage.
