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."

Type: (not cited).

Etymology: "In revenge for this ill-treatment, I determined to give to the tree a name which should serve to caution future travellers against allowing themselves to venture within its clutches."

Text: "As suggested in APNI this name (as 'detinens') appears to have been recorded for Australia in error by H.A.Jacques, in Ann. Fl. Pomone 1837-1838: 68 (1837); it is listed as a synonym of the African taxon A. mellifera (Vahl) Benth. subsp. mellifera by J.H.Ross, Mem. Bot. Survey S. Africa 44: 67 (1979)."
