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."

Kayea Wall.

Wallich, N. (20 March 1832), Plantae Asiaticae Rariores 3(10)

[tax. nov.]

Type: Kayea floribunda Wall.

Etymology: "Nomen veneraturus Roberti Kaye Grevillei, LL.D., botanices celeberrimi et meritissimi, operum praestantium, longè nitidissimorum auctoris, viri scientiâ aequè ac animi pietate et morum suavitate pracellentis, amici probati et dilecti, hoc genus novum appellavi. ... The tree forms a new genus in the family of Guttiferae, which I am proud to dedicate to my highly valued friend Robert Kaye Greville, Esq. LL.D., of Edinburgh, a most distinguished and acute botanist, who has enriched the science with some of the most beautiful and accurate works it has to boast of. As there already exists a Grevillea, called after a different person, I have adopted a method not unfrequently used heretofore, by designating my plant Kayea."
