exclude parent records
If this box is checked, a parent record will be excluded from the results if a child of that parent is present in the results.

For example,

Acer glabrum is the parent record of
Acer glabrum var. diffusum,
Acer glabrum var. douglasii, and
Acer glabrum var. glabrum.
These three varieties are all child records of Acer glabrum.

If this box is checked and both Acer glabrum var. diffusum and Acer glabrum are in the results, then Acer glabrum (the parent record) will be excluded.
