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:

Muntalkura Wattle

[n/a]

Etymology: "The botanical name is taken from the Latin exilis (thin, slender), and refers to the slender, lax phyllodes. The common name is derived from the Kurrama people who describe the 'Top End' of their land as the country up in the ranges, around Marandoo and Tom Price, extending as far south as Palm Spring (Wangka Maya [in Kurrama Wordlist and Sketch Grammar p. 193] 2001). This area definition as depicted in Stevens [in (he Guruma Story: Told by Guruma Elders Group led by Peter Stevens] 2001) is almost coincidental with the known distribution of A. exilis with the exception of the Mt Windell population. The Type collection was obtained from a locality between Milli Milli Spring (Thallipirri) and Coppin Pool (Kangkalakarinha) which is within Muntalkura."
