Function argument	Description
genus_search	a logical value, FALSE (default). If TRUE, the function will apply the fuzzy match algorithm also for the search of the genus name, otherwise as default the search is applied only to the epithet, the infraspecies and the name author.
max.distance	an integer value. It represents the maximum distance (number of characters) allowed for a match when comparing the submitted name with the closest name matches in the LCVP.
status	a logical value, TRUE (default). If FALSE, the function will return not only the valid epithet for a species name but also all the possible synonyms.
max.cores	an integer value, indicating the number of CPU cores to be used for the parallelization of the plant name search when a list of plant taxa names is submitted. As default, the maximum number of CPU cores available on the working machine menus one is set.
genus_tab	a logical value, FALSE (default). If TRUE, the function will return the list of plant taxa names belonging to the same genus name submitted by the user.
family_tab	a logical value, FALSE (default). If TRUE, the function will return the list of plant taxa names belonging to the same family name submitted by the user.
order_tab	a logical value, FALSE (default). If TRUE, the function will return the list of plant taxa names belonging to the same order name submitted by the user
infraspecies_tab	a logical value, FALSE (default). If TRUE, the function will return also all the infraspecies names found for a submitted plant name.
encoding	a character vector, “UTF-8” (default). This value will allow the user to set the specific codification of the strings.
out_path	a character vector, which allow the user to define the path where the output file has to be saved. The working directory is set as default.
save	a logical value. FALSE (default). If TRUE, the function will write the output file as comma-separated format (.csv), saving it into the working directory or in the directory already set through the ‘out_path’ option.
visualize	a logical value, TRUE (default). If TRUE the function will visualize the output search on the ‘Source Tab’ of RStudio. This option has to be turned off (FALSE) if the package is executed in a UNIX environment (from the command line) without having a Graphical User Interface.
version	a character vector indicating the current version of the package.
