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."

Lectotype: "Type: 'The Moluccas' (= Amboina), Ch. Smith 303; (holotype [sic; lectotype], LINN not seen; isotypes [sic; isolectotypes], NSW, BM (photo BRI), G)."

Comment: Although the specimen C.Smith 303 at LINN was listed by Blake as the "holotype", since Smith cited both an illustration by Rumphius and a Smith specimen in the protologue this citation is here considered to constitute an effective lectotypification by Blake under ICN Art. 9.10 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
