Algae Australian Algae Name Index (AANI)

The Australian Algae Name Index (AANI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with algae names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. AANI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian Algae, please use the Australian Algae List (AAL) link above.

name

You will get suggestions as you type in your query, they tell you what your query will return, and you can select one for an exact match.
The query is not case sensitive.
This search uses an automatic wild card at the end of the query to match all endings (unless the query is in double quotes).
The query is an ordered set of search terms, so viola l. will match "Viola L." and "Viola L. sect Viola."
Putting double quotes around your entire query will cause it to be matched exactly (except case). e.g. "Viola L." will match just Viola L.
You can use a % as a wild card inside the search query e.g. hakea elon% be or "hakea % var. elon% benth." to find "Hakea ceratophylla var. elongata Benth."

[tax. nov.]

Comment: Note, protologue indicates that there is more than one specimen in collection 1303. Wollaston (1971, introduction) indicates that Harvey (1844) associated tetrasporangial material with this binomial. Presumably Wollaston chose a tetrasporoangial component of 1303 to stand as the LT. Type material has not been illustrated as of 2018.
Type locality: George Town, V.D.L., R. Gunn, Esq., n. 1307 and 1303.
Type specimen: LECTOTYPE: Dublin, Ireland: Gunn 1303 (in part).
