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."

Hippeastrum puniceum (Lam.) Kuntze

, legitimate

, scientific

Kuntze, C.E.O. (5 November 1891), Revisio Generum Plantarum 2

703

[comb. nov.]

basionym:

Amaryllis punicea Lam.

legitimate

Comment: Kuntze cites this name as "Hippeastrum purpureum OK." but gives "Amarylis purp. Lam. 1783" as the intended basionym. Lamarck published the name Amaryllis punicea in 1783 and this is here treated as the basionym, with Kuntze's orthography an error to be corrected under ICN Art. 41.3 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
