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:

Dwarf Minni Ritchi

[n/a]

common name:

Mt Bruce Minni Ritchi

[n/a]

common name:

Punurunha Minni Ritchi

[n/a]

Etymology: "The botanical name is derived from the Latin effusus (poured out or forth) and refers to the characteristic wide-spreading growth habit of this species. The preferred common name, Punurunha Minni Ritchi , is derived from the Kurrama language group's name for Mt Bruce which is the type locality for this species and the term Minni Ritchi which describes the habit of the bark to exfoliate in long curling strips. Mt Bruce, Western Australia's second highest mountain, is a sacred mountain to the Kurruma and Banyjima people as it is said to be the place where the Dreatime birds and animals placed their songs (marka) for safe keeping. It is also believed that Minkala (God) descends from Punurunha (also spelt Bunurrunha) to check that the country is being properly maintained (Stevens [in The Guruma Story: Told by Guruma Elders Group led by Peter Stevens] 2001, Wangka Maya [in Kurrama Wordlist and Sketch Grammar p. 193] 2001)."
