Is there an easy way to expand the
taxonomic checklist?

Using the software Getting started Not so obvious
Yes. By double-clicking an item in the
hierarchical checklist you can see all plant
names one rank lower in the list.
If you double-click while holding down the
key, you can see all plant names two full
ranks lower in the list. When sub-ranks are
available (such as sub-class or sub-order or subfamily),
the sub-ranks down two full ranks are
also included. See the example below.
By double-clicking the
sub-class Equisetidae
while holding down the
key, all
intermediate ranks down
to family (Equisetaceae)
are expanded.
