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."

[tax. nov.]

Type: Australian Capital Territory: Murrumbidgee River, 1 km downstream from Kambah Pool, I.R. Telford 8553, Sep 1980; holo. CBG 8007070; iso. BISH 599975, MEL 641512, NSW 567291.

Etymology: "The species is named in honour of Max Gray, retired CSIRO taxonomist, co-author of the 'Flora of the A.C.T.' and an early collector of this species. During my career, Max has given me invaluable encouragement and inspiration. As a homophone, the name is also highly descriptive of the cladode colour and general appearance of B. grayi."
