All are, surely (unless you're including "sweet potato", Ipomoea
batatas)?

This is catered for, in the current proposal, thus:

        <span class="biota"> [1]
           <abbr class="binominal" title="Solanum tuberosum">
              <span class="variety"> [2]
                Maris Piper
              </span>
           </abbr>
        </span>


[1] assuming "biota" as the parent category.

[2] assuming the abbreviation "var" is not used.
