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."

Hetaeria pygmaea (R.Br.) Endl. ex Kunth

basionym:

Philydrum pygmaeum R.Br.

legitimate

Comment: Kunth attributes this name to "Endl. Gen. 133". While S.F.L.Endlicher, Gen. Pl. 2: 133 (1836), lists Philydrum pygmaeum R.Br. as the sole species included under Hetaeria Endl. he does not definitely associate the genus name with the specific epithet as required by ICN Art. 35.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).

Endlicher, S.F.L. (August 1841), Enchiridion Botanicum

[secondary reference]

Comment: Endlicher's citation of the name as "Hetaeria pygmaea E." was treated by L.G.Adams, Fl. Australia 45: 43 (1987), as a nom. illeg., presumably on the basis that it post-dated the publication of the name by Kunth (May 1841). This is here treated as a secondary reference by Endlicher rather than as a later isonym.
