Purpose and description
This template creates a link to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), a database containing scientific names of biological taxa.
Use and example

- Camellia sinensis Camellia sinensis (TSN 506801). Integrated Taxonomic Information System. 16 February Accessed on 16 February 2006.
You can also use this as a TSN reference only by leaving out the taxon name; you may choose this format when you're using this template on second reference. For example:
- {{ITIS|ID=506801}}
