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: nom. illeg., nom. superfl. as the epithet citrinus was available in Callistemon in 1826 and thus ought to have been adopted by Sweet (ICN Art. 11.4 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
Comment: The names "Callistemon lanceolatus (Smith) Sweet var. lanceolatus" and "Callistemon lanceolatus (Smith) Sweet f. lanceolatus" were listed by A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 541, 542 (1991)), but these autonyms do not exist, in accordance with ICN Art. 27.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
