Australian Moss Name Index (AusMoss)

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."

remarks: "The supposed occurrence of H. plumula in Australia is based on a collection from northeastern Qld [Iron Range, Qld, L.J.Brass 19258, FH] reported by Bartram (1952). Himantocladium plumula can be distinguished from H. cyclophyllum by its synoicous sexual condition. All other Australian collections previously identified as H. plumula have perichaetia with archegonia only. Hence, they are not synoicous and are referable to H. cyclophyllum. We have not yet seen the specimen on which the Australian report was based."
