Searches for other genera (homonyms) and species within the Caryophyllaceae genus were possible.

the species name autocomplete does not return the plant genus but instead lists some species.
There are also 7! genus homonyms of Arenaria in our backbone, to be considered when we redesign the autocomplete for the new portal

Interim solution is to do a proper species search first:
