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."

common name:

Spencer’s Samphire

[n/a]

Etymology: "This species is named for my husband Spencer Robert Willis (1968–). Spencer has supported me in all things (as he said he would) and whilst he may not appreciate this recognition due to his own unassuming nature, he is a worthy recipient of this honour. Spencer has often volunteered to undertake fieldwork with me during his holidays, usually working under hot and difficult conditions to collect samphires around arid salt lakes. He has also contributed to research on the family Goodeniaceae by driving field vehicles, collecting specimens and taking detailed floral photographs utilised in our floral morphometrics research ..."
