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."

Ipomoea sepiaria Roxb.

, nom. illeg., nom. superfl.

, scientific

Roxburgh, W. (1824), Flora Indica; or descriptions of Indian Plants, by the late William Roxburgh 2

[tax. nov.]

Type: "Tiru-tali, Rheed. Mal. xi. p. 109 t. 53 [i.e. H. Van Rheede, Hort. Malabar. 11: 109, t. 53 (1692)] is certainly this plant, though quoted for Convolvulus maximus..."

Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl., as the name is based on the same type as Convolvulus marginatus Desr. The epithet marginata was available in Ipomoea in 1824 and thus ought to have been adopted by Roxburgh.
