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: Cuthbert, near Albany [precise locality withheld], Western Australia, 20 October 1993, Jones 12425 (holo: CBG 9318004; iso: AD, BRI, CBG, MEL, NSW, PERTH).

Etymology: "Named in honour of Pauline Heberle who has assisted with specimens, provided hospitality and has been supportive of our research over many years."
Comment: The epithet of this name is here assumed to be derived from Paulina, the Latin form of the name Pauline, and is thus not to be "corrected" to paulineae.
