Search Tips

The Search is not case sensitive.

Fields are automatically linked by AND

For partial strings the % sign can be used as a wildcard

Queries for a Genus can be sent as "genus name" "blank space" and the "%" sign: Searchstring "Oncidum %" yields all data for Oncidium.

Typing the initial Letters for "genus" and "epithet" are sufficient as Search Criteria: "p bad" yields all Taxa where genus starts with "p" and Epithet starts with "bad". Results include e.g. p badia Hepp, Peziza badia Pers. or Poa badensis Haenke ex Willd.

Search on Synonymy has been implemented for nomenclatural and taxonomic questions. If the "incl. syn." checkbox is activated (default), known nomenclatural and taxonomic synonyms will be returned with the search result
