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."

Type: "track into Koolpin Gorge, Kakadu Natl Park, N.T., 13˚31'S, 132˚34'E, 30 June 1993, G.J.Leach 3856; holo: DNA; iso: BRI, CANB, MEL, NSW, PERTH."

Etymology: "Named for my wife. The epitet amanda is used here intentionally as a noun in apposition, which then requires no change by addition of a case ending."

nomenclatural synonym:

Racosperma amandae Pedley

orth. var.

APC Comment: In making the new combination in Racosperma, Pedley 'corrected' the spelling of the species epithet from a noun in apposition to a genitive adjective, preferring to give precedence to Rec. 23A rather than Art. 23. As the original spelling was not an 'error' and therefore not available for correction, and because Articles take precedence over Recommendations, this is inadmissable, and the original (deliberate) use of a noun in apposition is retained here.
