This template is designed to provide a link to the US Department of Agriculture plants database normally to be used under the heading External links for a species or genus name or a corresponding vernacular name. This database provides a great deal of information, mostly encyclopedic about plant species found in the US. It also provides taxonomic synonyms and can be a source for common names.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= – mandatory: the USDA's code, formed with capital letters and numbers

  For a two-part species name, the first two letters of the genus are followed by the first two letters of the specific epithet, then often a number intended to make the code unique.

  For a genus name, the first five letters of the genus are similarly followed, if necessary, by numbers intended to make the code unique.

  A guess without any number will:

  1. give a unique page, though possibly not one that matches the desired name or
  2. indicate that no such page exists.

  In case 2, you may use the sites search box to try to find what you are looking for.

• |noi= – optional: by default the linked term will be italicized. To disable italicization, set |noi=1.
