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."

Acacia insolita subsp. efoliolata Maslin

common name:

Convivial Wattle

[n/a]

Etymology: "The species epithet is derived from the Latin adjutrix (a female helper), and is applied here as a plural noun in apposition. It is with great pleasure that I name this species for Susan (Sue) Carroll, Meriel Falconer, Evelyn McGough and Kaye Veryard, past and present members of the Western Australian Herbarium 'database team'. Their excellent work, so willingly and graciously undertaken, in maintaining accurate content for the two Herbarium databases, WAHERB and WACENSUS, has greatly facilitated my work on Acacia for the past two to three decades. Parenthetically it is noted that the word adjutrix was used by Lewis and Short (1879: 38) [i.e.A Latin Dictionary founded on Andrew's edition of Freund's Latin dictionary] in an example from the Histories of Tacitus, legiones adjutrices for 'legions raised by the proconsul in the provinces for the purpose of strengthening the veteran army', could be loosely adapted here for staff appointed by a Curator in a State for supporting an aged botanist such as myself."
