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."

A.D.Chapman, Austral. Pl. Name Index 2792 (1991) treats Swainsona procumbens (F.Muell.) F.Muell. as illegitimate, on the basis that Cyclogone procumbens F.Muell. and Cyclogyne swainsonioides Benth. were both cited in synonymy. However, in accordance with Art. 52.3, Ex. 14 of the ICBN (2006), Mueller's name was superfluous when published, but not illegitimate. A.T.Lee, in J.M.Black, Fl. S. Australia, 2nd edn 2: 470 (1948) was the first author to treat Swainsona procumbens and S. swainsonoides as separate taxa. See also A.T.Lee, Natl. Herb. New S. Wales, Contr. 1: 223 (1948) for a discussion of the types of these taxa.
