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.

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."

Comment: See the discussion in Silva et al 1996:936. Chaetomorpha capillaris cannot be used in association with the authority (Kuetz.) Boergesen (basionym: Rhizoclonium capillaris Kuetz.) and there appears to be a warm-water and cold-water species in Australia.
Comment: This name is a latter homonym of Chaetomorpha capillaris (Linnaeus) S.F.Gray
AMANI dist.: Victoria (Flindersian), South Australia (Flindersian). World: New Zealand.
