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."

Text: "Martius (1829) [Hortus Regius Monacensis: 188, 206] published the name Racosperma giving a direct reference to the description of Acacia section Phyllodineae DC. However, Racosperma cannot be considered to have been validly published at that time as he treated it as part of the genus Acacia. Species referred to it were listed in alphabetical order under Acacia. Later (Martius, 1835) [Hortus Regius Monacensis Seminifer: unnumbered page] it was definitely accepted but without description or diagnosis. The citation of 'Racosperma Mart.'. correctly placed in an alphabetical list of genera, includes an indirect reference to the name (and its reference to a diagnosis) published in 1829. Combinations under Racosperma therefore date from 1835."
