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: Womersley 1984: 168, 178 separates R. tortuosum from Chaetomorpha capillaris. Nomenclaturally and taxonomically this has been shown not to be the case in the northern hemisphere (see the discussion in Silva et al 1996:936). Since there appears to be a warm-water and cold-water species in Australia I have decided that the warm-water species be given the name R. capillaris Kuetzing and the cold-water species C. capillaris sensu Womersley. One problem with this is that R. capillare = R. tortuosum (Dillwyn) Kuetzing, in the view of Silva et al 1996:787. I have decided not to synonymise these two names in this database purely to keep the data on the three possible entities separate. The QLD Damp. record is based on Lewis 1987 Dept of Def. Report MRL-R-1063 p. 12.
