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: "Both names [i.e. Athrotaxis laxifolia Hook. and Athrotaxis tetragona Hook.] are based on R.C.Gunn 369, which represents hybrid plants, the parents being A. selaginoides and A. cupressoides. Such hybrid individuals are widespread although not common in areas where the two parent species occur, and the name A. laxifolia has been widely used for these. Gunn's number series referred to his concepts of the species, not to individual collections. Several specimens may consequently bear the same number, and in some cases these may be referable to different species."
