LIVING PLANT COLLECTION

Search for plants currently alive

Please exercise care in the structure of queries and the use of wildcards to avoid excessively large reports. See instructions below.

Output Format - how you want to generate the results of your query. Leave as HTML for a web view.

Display - What results will be displayed.

Sort Order- Indicates alpha-numeric sorting of results ( usually leave blank ).

Query by value
- Prop ID - this is the number used to identify this plant in the Gardens, on the back of the label or on the aluminium tag.
- Herb Code - usually leave blank.
- Genus must have capital first letter ( ie. Grevillea ).
- species must have lower case first letter ( ie. robusta ).
- Num In Grp - the number of plants in a group planting. (Usually leave blank)
- Location - the Section number in the Gardens where the plant is growing.

Execute query - Click to obtain results of search.

Reset Form - clears the entry ready for the next query.

Most fields are case sensitive and the wildcard is the percentage sign (%).

To create a checklist of a genus in the Gardens, eg Eucalyptus

Tick only the 'Name' box in the left hand column, as that's all you want to see.
- then put     Eucalyptus%     in the 'Query by value' field next to it.
- then click 'Execute Query'

Eucalyptus%     means that you want any name starting with the word 'Eucalyptus' (this will produce over 500 records ! )

By ticking only the 'Name' box, you indicate that you only want names, not individual collecting records and bed numbers.
If you don't tick any box in the left column it will bring up all records of all Eucalypts - a very large search that will take a long time.
