taxize (version 0.1.5)

tpl_search: A light wrapper around the taxonstand fxn to call Theplantlist.org database.

Description

This function is deprecated.

Usage

tpl_search(taxon, paral = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

taxon

A taxonomic name, or a vector of names.

paral

Paralellize or not (logical). Which back-end package you use depends on your operating system and just general taste. Possibilities include: snow, multicore, parallel, doMC, etc.

...

Further arguments passed on to the TPL or TPLck function of Taxonstand. See TPL and TPLck for arguments.

Details

This function was a very light wrapper around TPLck anyway - we don't see further reason to keep this function. Use the Taxonstand functions TPL and TPLck, directly. However, we are keeping two functions that give you access to download Theplantlist.org data tpl_get and to get Theplantlist.org families tpl_families.

tpl_search(taxon = splist)

# Use more arguments within TPLck
tpl_search(taxon = "Microbryum curvicollum", corr = TRUE)
tpl_search(taxon = "Microbryum curvicollum", corr = TRUE, max.distance=5)
