PlantID.net URL Query Strings

 

You can define the PlantID.net page you want to jump to with URL query strings.  Use either

http://PlantID.net/?, or

https://PlantID.net/?

 

After the question mark, enter any number of requests, separated by ampersand (&).  Use plus (+) when you need to indicate a space, such as in a Plant List title or taxon name (some browsers will tolerate spaces, but + guarantees a space).  If a value (title, taxon, search criteria, etc.) is not found, that part of the query string is ignored.

 

See examples at the bottom.
