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."

[tax. nov.]

Type: SE of Badgingarra (30°30''S, 115°38''E), 10 June 1986, M.I.H.Brooker 9349 (holo: PERTH; iso: AD, CANB, MEL, NSW).

Etymology: "The specific epithet refers to the remoteness of this species from the large numbers of box species (E. series Porantheroideae) in eastern Australia. The nearest box species are the geographically restricted E. cuprea Brooker & Hopper ined. from north of Geraldton (Brooker & Kleinig 1990), and the relatively widespread E. petraea Carr & Carr from Freeman’s Road, north-west of Tardun. (L. abitus- away from the place). "

Text: “Eucalyptus absita: this is a non-word, said to be from Latin abitus ‘away from the place’ (i.e. adjectival), but this is a noun meaning a departure or place of egress; the ‘s’ was inserted without explanation, apparently intentionally as it was used several times in the paper (it’s a W.A. species, whereas most related species occur only in the Eastern States). You could argue for an orthographical correction to abitus but that doesn’t have the intended meaning.
