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."

common name:

Manggurda Wattle

[n/a]

Etymology: "The botanical name is derived from the Latin distans (standing apart) in reference to the spikes having well-spaced flowers. The common name Manggurdu Wattle is from the Banyjima name for the Fortescue River and thus reflects the Pilbara distribution of A. distans which is entirely restricted to the Fortescue River catchment. The Banyjima people are the traditional owners of the lands in the central Pilbara centered on the settlements of Wittenoom and Munjina and capturing the northern sections of Karijini National Park."
