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."

Showing Protea divaricata

Proteaceae Juss.

, nom. illeg., nom. superfl.

, scientific

t. 465

[primary reference]

Type: "This very distinct species of Protea we have not seen in any other collection than that of G.Hibbert, esq. nor is it as yet amongst the numerous fine dried specimens in the herbarium of A.B. Lambert."

Comment: nom. illeg. non L. (1771). Origin given as Cape of Good Hope by Andrews, but treated as Australian by subsequent authors. Stafleu & Cowan, Tax. Lit. ed. 2, 1 (1976) 51 give the author as "probably ... George Jackson", but as there is no such indication in the work itself, Andrews has been accepted here as the author.
