I put them in that way because scientific names are supposed to be italicized. I noticed, though, that when I put in a synonym, that field is automatically italicized.
Look at this:
Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata 'Cuba'.
The parts that are supposed to be italicized are, and the ones that aren't...aren't. So, I'd prefer that names not automatically be italicized (synonyms aren't as important). But even if they all have the html tags, wouldn't they all be the same up until the first letter of the genus name and therefore be in order?
