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."

Comment: Although Chinnock attributes lectotypification of this name to C.R.Marsden, the thesis in which the designation first appeared was not effectively published under ICN Art. 30.9 (Shenzhen Code, 2018). Chinnock's designation is here considered to constitute effective lectotypification under ICN Art. 7.11 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).

Type: "South Esk River, Tasmania, 1848, C.Stuart 461 (lecto: MEL 1002781*; isolecto: MEL 31642*, designated by R. J. Chinnock in P. M. McCarthy (ed.), Fl. Australia 48: 65 (1998))."

Text: "Chinnock (1998b, p. 65) cited the type of the name Isoëtes elatior as ‘South Esk River, Tas., ?Dec. 1848, C.Stuart 461; lecto: MEL 1002781, fide C. R. Marsden, Morphology & Taxonomy of Isoetes, PhD thesis, University of Adelaide 105 (1979); isolecto: MEL 31642’. Because Marsden’s thesis was not effectively published under ICN Art. 30.9, this citation is here treated as effective lectotypification by Chinnock (1998b), in accordance with ICN Art. 7.11 (Turland et al. 2018)."
