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."

Type: "New South Wales: Southern Tablelands: Kosciuszko National Park: along Dinner Time Creek, S of Stokes Hut, N. Taws 225 & A. Scott, 30 Oct 1993 (NSW624624); isotypes: CBG, MEL."

Etymology: "The specific epithet ‘makinsonii’ acknowledges the significant contribution that Mr Robert (Bob) Makinson (Conservation Botanist, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney) has made to the conservation of the flora of New South Wales. He is a life member of the Australian Network for Plant Conservation Inc., being a member since 1992 and President from 2007–2011. Other key conservation roles that Bob has undertaken include: Chairman of the Endangered Flora Network (1997–2000); Royal Botanic Gardens Trust representative (2001–2003) on New South Wales Native Vegetation Implementation Group; Member of the New South Wales Scientific Committee (2005–2010) responsible for assessment and listing of threatened species, populations, ecological communities, and Key Threatening Processes under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act; and Member of the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage Saving Our Species Implementation Working Group and its progenitors (2010–). He has published extensively on conservation issues, and he encouraged us to determine the taxonomic status of this very localised plant."
