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."

Sims, J. (June 1826), Curtis's Botanical Magazine 53

t. 2697

[tax. nov.]

Comment: nom. illeg., non Dunal (1813).
Comment: The authorship of this name is often attributed to "Hook.". As there is no internal evidence of Hooker being the author, in contrast to other taxon names published by him in the same volume where the descriptions and notes are signed "W.H.", the name is here ascribed to Sims.
