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."

Text: "F.M.Bailey, Queensland Agric. J. 2 [sic; 1(3)]: 233 (1897), refers to a single staminate plant cultivated near the now-abandoned homestead of F.L.Jardine at Somerset, Cape York. According to Bailey, the plant was acquired from '...a locality upon the Peninsula forty miles from the coast'. Jardine, in correspondence quoted by Bailey, described the locality as having '...quite a clump of palms, some having very thick stems...'. Bailey quoted the palm as being 20–30 ft (6–9 m) high. As of Nov. 2008, the palm stood at a height of 18–20 m. The species is not considered to be naturalised in Australia."
