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."

replaced synonym:

nom. illeg.

Comment: Clements et al. cite this name as a "nom. nov." but list Cleisostoma gemmatum Rupp as the "basionym". This is here corrected to replaced synonym following ICN Art. 6.14 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl., as the name Cleisostoma gemmatum Rupp, nom. illeg., had been replaced in 1938 by Cleisostoma purpuratum Rupp. The epithet purpurata was available in Plectorrhiza in 2019 and thus ought to have been adopted by Clements et al. (ICN Art. 11.4 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
