When I find the genus name of European larch. The results returned error results so I want to know how to find its genus name in the right way. Could you please give some suggestions? Thank you a lot in advance.

Following is the code and results:

1 European Larch European
TPL('Himalayan Spruce')
YOUR_SEARCH POSSIBLE_GENUS FAMILY FAMILY_NUMBER ORDER GROUP

The database TPL() uses does not support searching using common names (English names). Using common names is not encouraged, as usually there is no standard. You may refer to https://plants.usda.gov/home/downloads for the common names of the plant species found in the USA.
