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."

APC Comment: Recorded by various authors (e.g. A.Gray, United States Expl. Exped. Phanerogamia 1: 109 (1854), F.M.Bailey, Compr. Cat. Queensland Pl. 4 (1913), W.M.Curtis, Stud. Fl. Tasmania 1: 62 (1956), W.M.Curtis & D.I.Morris, Stud. Fl. Tasmania, 2nd edn 1: 65 (1975)) either as accepted names or in synonymy of Tunica prolifera (L.) Scop., Kohlrauschia prolifera (L.) Kunth or Petrorhagia prolifer (L.) P.W.Ball & Heywood. Petrorhagia prolifer (and its nomenclatural synonyms) are now considered misapplications against Petrorhagia dubia (Raf.) G.Lopez & Romo and Petrorhagia nanteuilii (Burnat) P.W.Ball & Heywood in Australia.
