Hmm. Not when I try it.

Results 1 - 10 of about 52,300 for Viburnum fragrans.
Results 1 - 10 of about 24,300 for Viburnum farreri.

I put quotes round the species names so that only cases where the words
occur in sequence come up; you've looked for pages contain both words,
not necessarily in sequence, so would have found pages referring to
Viburnum species-X and Genus-Y fragrans.

Results can be distorted by keyword spammers, but I don't expect them to
be using pairs of words, rather than single words.

Frankly, I doubt my ability to persuade anyone to open this can of
worms, irrespective of the merits of any proposal :-(
