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."

Etymology: "The species name is from the Latin collegialis (collegial). It acknowledges the substantial assistance and/or advice that I have received from the following colleagues at various points in my career: Department of Parks and Wildlife staff Beng Siew Mahon (Librarian), Ben Richardson (Senior Technical Officer) and Peter White (Nature Conservation Officer); also David Coultas (Senior Botanist, Woodman Environmental Consulting) and Roger Underwood (former Manager and more recently author of the history of the Western Australian Herbarium, see Underwood 2011)."
Comment: Two PERTH herbarium sheets prepared from a single gathering but with differing accession numbers are cited as the holotype in the protologue of this name. The two sheets are clearly labelled as being parts of the same specimen and thus comply with ICN Art. 8.3 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
