Notes on Searching:
- Searches are from UW-Stevens Point (UWSP) specimens records entered to date.
-
Searches are not case sensitive
-
Searches for Scientific Name, Genus, Species and Collector
are wildcarded at the END only. For example, typing "er" in the Genus field
will result in a query which will select only genera starting with er -Erigeron,
and not genera ending with er ---Aster. Collector's name format is Last,
First M. or Last, F.M. - it is wildcarded at the end so "Last, First",
"Last, F (note no period)", and "Last" yield the same results
-
Searches for Location Name are
wildcarded at BOTH ends.
-
Data for Wisconsin or Federal rare plant specimens will not
be returned if location information is requested below County level.
-
Location Name and TRS are combined into one criterium as (Location
Name OR (Township AND Range AND Section))
-
All criteria are combined with "AND" so the more fields
used the narrower the search
-
The simpler the Collector and Place Names the broader the
search. This allows for differences in spellings, abbreviations, spacing,
etc.
-
Use " subsp.", " var."
, " f.", and " X " (hybrid)
in Scientific Name search -without authors.
-
Township, Range, and Section MUST follow the formats given
(note leading zeros)
-
To check nomenclature, refer to Vascular
Plants name search.
