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: Sediment cyst evidence suggests G. catenatum was introduced into Tasmanian waters in c. 1973 and began to cause blooms in the Huon River, d’Entrecasteaux Channel and River Derwent after 1980, the most serious in 1993. This species was first seen off Lorne (Vic.) in 1993, at Port Lincoln (S.A.) in 1996, and in the Hawkesbury (1997) and off Bega (N.S.W.) in 2002 [Hallegraeff et al., 2010]
