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: "it is a native of Moreton Bay, on the east coast of New Holland, where it was discovered by Mr. Allan Cunningham, who sent three plants of it to Kew in 1829."
Comment: nom. inval., as the name is not accepted by Smith. He indicates that the plant is the type of a new genus, Caelebogyne, but does not make a combination in that genus at specific rank.
