Build Direct Links to GRIN
TAXONOMY for PLANTS Web Reports
GRIN TAXONOMY for PLANTS web reports are freely
available to
be linked from other databases, allowing outside users to pass directly to
these reports without the need to re-query a name in GRIN. The
method for establishing links to seven of these commonly accessed reports
is indicated below. Examples of each report can be seen by clicking
the links provided. While the reports clearly indicate the source of the
reported data, it would be desirable to alert your users that they are
transferring to our site to view these data. If you require assistance in
creating or evaluating your links, please contact us.
Species report
This report is also available for many infraspecific taxa, as well as
synonyms, and can be set up in two different ways:
- Appending a GRIN nomen number (e.g. 410383) as a query string to
the url of our taxon report program (taxon.pl) in the manner:
"http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?410383"
The full link might thus take the form: <a
href="http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?410383"
title="Link to GRIN Taxonomy for Plants report for Triticum aestivum">Triticum aestivum</a>
Note: GRIN nomen numbers (taxnos) can be obtained by viewing
individual GRIN species reports or
downloading the file "taxonno.zip".
- Appending a scientific (e.g. Triticum aestivum) or common
name (e.g. wheat) as a query string to the url of our search program
(tax_search.pl) in the manner:
"http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_search.pl?Triticum+aestivum"
or

Note: Scientific or common names must be spelled as in GRIN
TAXONOMY for PLANTS, although case and
hybrid symbols can be disregarded for scientific names, and
case, hyphens, diacritics, and/or spaces for common names. When more
than one GRIN scientific name matches to the appended common name, an
interim report is provided displaying all matches, each with a link to
its species report.

interim report is provided displaying all matches, each with a link to its
genus report.
Family report
This report is also available for certain infrafamilial taxa, and many
synonyms, and can be set up in two different ways:

Note: The family name must be spelled as in GRIN
TAXONOMY for PLANTS, although case can be ignored. When more
than one family record matches to the appended family name (i.e. when
there is an infrafamilial classification) an interim report is provided
displaying all matches, each with a link to its family report.
Report of generic list for family
This report is complete for all accepted genera in the family, and
includes many synonyms as well, and is set up as follows:

their synonyms represented in GRIN, and likely does not include all
species in the genus. The link may be set up in two different ways
as follows:
- Appending a GRIN genus number (e.g. 12442) as a query string to
the url of our species list report program (splist.pl) in the manner:
"http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?12442"

title="Link to list of those species in GRIN for Triticum">Species in GRIN for Triticum</a>
Note: GRIN genus numbers (gnos) can be obtained by viewing
individual GRIN genus reports or
downloading the file "genusno.zip".
- Appending a genus name (e.g. Triticum) as a query string to
the url of our search program (genform.pl) in the manner:
"http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genform.pl?taxon=Triticum"

title="Link to list of those species in GRIN for Triticum">Species in GRIN for Triticum</a>
Note: The genus name must be spelled as in GRIN
TAXONOMY for PLANTS, although case can be ignored. Be aware
that, in the case of generic homonymy, this may return species records
belonging to more than one genus.
Report of species list matching common name
This report returns all species in GRIN with common names containing a
given query string, and is set up as follows:
- Appending a common name (e.g. lily) as a query string to the
url of our search program (genform.pl) in the manner:
"http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genform.pl?comnam=lily"
(no spaces permitted)
The full link might thus take the form: <a
href="http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/genform.pl?comnam=lily"
title="Link to GRIN list of species with common name
'*lily*'">Species with common name matching '*lily*'</a>
Note: The common name must be spelled as in GRIN
TAXONOMY for PLANTS, although case, hyphenation, diacritics,
and/or spaces should be ignored. The report provides a list of all
species and their common names which match this common name string,
each with a link to its species report. If the string also matches the
generic common name, common names appear in bold typeface.
Nomenclature summary of genus or species
This report provides a snapshot of GRIN nomenclature for a given genus or
species query string, and is set up as follows:
- Appending a scientific name (e.g. Triticum aestivum or
Triticum) as a query string to the url of our search program
(tax_report.pl) in the manner:
"http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_report.pl?Triticum+aestivum"
or
"http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_report.pl?Triticum"
The full link might thus take the form: <a
href="http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_report.pl?Triticum"
title="Link to GRIN nomenclature for Triticum">GRIN nomenclature for Triticum</a>
Note: The genus or species must be spelled as in GRIN
TAXONOMY for PLANTS, and the case of letters is important. When
infraspecific names exist in GRIN, a different result will be obtained if
the generic epithet in a species name is not initcapped.
