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."

Walker's Wattle

Etymology: "This species is named for Ken Walker who has collected many plants (over 600) from the Pilbara during the past 30 years. Ken made the first ever collection of A. subcontorta and has undertaken many specific collections of Pilbara acacias on our behalf. He was a founding contributor to the (now disbanded) Pilbara Regional Herbarium and has been instrumental in improving standards of landform and vegetation rehabilitation, and weed control on mine sites, throughout the region."
