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: "Rawlinson Rd, Munglinup area E of Ravensthorpe, W.A., 1 June 1979, B.R.Maslin 4483; holo: PERTH; iso: MEL."

Etymology: "The specific epithet is derived from the Latin aemulus, meaning rivalling or more or less equaling. It alludes to the fact that the branchlets and phyllodes are superficially very similar and at first glance difficult to distinguish. However upon inspection the (short) phyllodes are seen to have a gland on their upper surface and usually (indistinctly) pulvinate at their base."
