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: "Proposals (2385) and (2386) were different ways to deal with the application of the name Pteris semipinnata, and the NCVP were divided on how to deal with them. After discussion, the GC first voted in principle (i) that we wished to find a solution that avoided adopting the name Pteris semipinnata as currently typified (19–3–1–0), and (ii) that resolving the application of the name by conservation would be preferable to rejection (16–5–2–0). The GC then formally voted (22–1–0–0) to accept Prop. (2385) cons. Pteris semipinnata (typ. cons.), i.e., the name is conserved as indicated; Prop. (2386) rej. Pteris semipinnata is, thereby, rejected."
