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 inclusion of this species in the Australian flora is based on a report by M.W.Holtze from South Australia. The species is the type of a mostly Asian series (Barneby, 1991); the protologue gives the origin as the "l'Inde", sent to Lamarck by Sonnerat."

APC Comment: An Asian taxon included in a list of introduced plants in the Northern Territory by M.W.Holtze, Trans. Proc. & Rep. Roy. Soc. S. Australia 15: 2 (1892), but not known to occur in Australia. Possibly a misapplication to Mimosa pigra L. according to I.L.Miller & W.M.Lonsdale, Pl. Protection Quarterly 2(3): 140–142. (1987).
