Arguments
- splist
A character vector containing the species names to be queried.
- dist
Maximum allowed distance for fuzzy matching of species names.
Value
A data frame containing comprehensive information about the provided species, including updated taxonomic details and descriptions.
Details
This function checks each species name in the provided list against the
Red Book of Endemic Plants of Peru database using fuzzy matching based on
