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."

taxonomic synonym:

Uncinia tenella var. robustior Kük.

Etymology: "The first component of the name is from the Latin australis, southern, referring to the Southern Hemisphere occurrence of this species, added to Blake’s original epithet, which refers to the soft-textured leaves of this species, to provide a link between the new name and the original name.
Text: "...non Carex flaccida Sw. ex Kunth (1837)."
Comment: Wilson indicates that a replacement name for Uncinia flaccida S.T.Blake is necessary due to the pre-existence of "Carex flaccida Sw. ex Kunth". However, the latter is an invalid designation published in synonymy of Carex cladostachya Wahlenb.
