Default Remove hyphens in text

Other that use find and replace to remove hyphens in a sheet is there
another way to remove hyphens in only certain parts of a string. Here are
some examples of what i want to do:


before
Acalypha hispida 'Alba'
after
Acalypha hispida Alba

before
Acanthus mollis 'Hollard's Gold'
after
Acanthus mollis Hollard's Gold

before
'Acer campestre Postelense'
after
Acer campestre Postelense

As you can see there are several options. Can a formula take all these
criteria's into account, particularly the second example where a hyphen
needs to be retained.
