Arguments

name

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
