Arguments

name

vector of names (scientific or common, see by) to be matched against.

provider

from which provider should the hierarchy be returned? Default is 'itis', which can also be configured using options(default_taxadb_provider=..."). See [td_create] for a list of recognized providers.

version

Which version of the taxadb provider database should we use? defaults to latest. See tl_import for details.

db

a connection to the taxadb database. See details.

ignore_case
