Usage
GRIN URL (P1421) (see uses)- taxon name (P225) (see uses)
Use this template to add a reference to a species page on the web site GRIN. At the moment, it cannot link to pages on other taxonomic ranks, such as genera and families.
Note: This template is designed to support WikipediaBioReferences and retrieves Wikidata. Do not edit this template unless you are familiar with these functionalities or are copying updated code from commons.
This template accepts all parameters that {{citation}} accepts.
Syntax
