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: "The inadequate description and lack of a type make it impossible to place this taxon. This name is in APNI but it is not conclusively an Australian plant, although being listed with an explicitly Australian species of Araucaria and a Pandanus of unknown provenance. The brief description reads: "with pinnate ovate leaves, having red stalks". R.Govaerts & J.Dransfield, World Checklist of Palms (2005), placed it as a synonym of Chambeyronia macrocarpa (Brong. [sic]) Vieill. ex Becc., [a New Caledonian species] and with the authorship as K. rubricaulis Linden ex Salomon."
