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."

APC Dist.: WA

Etymology: "The species is named in honour of Andrew Arthur Mitchell, formerly of Meekatharra, Western Australia, and presently of Darwin, Northern Territory. Andrew developed considerable familiarity with the flora of the eastern Pilbara region while conducting rangeland assessment studies there and has made many important contributions to our knowledge of the heliotrope flora of the Australian western arid zone, including making the second and third collections of the unusual species H. muticum Dornin that was first collected in the latter part of the 19th century."
