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."

[tax. nov.]

Type: Western Australia. Roe District, 1.6 km north of Gibson, 12 Oct. 1993, D.L.Jones 12293 (holo CBG 9710258, iso AD, MEL, NSW, PERTH).

Etymology: "The Latin decrementum, diminishing, lessening, in reference to the short habit and small flowers of this species."
Comment: The epithet decrementum is here treated as being a noun in apposition under ICN Art. 23.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018) and thus retains its termination irrespective of the gender of the generic name.
