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."

Etymology: "This handsome new species is named in honour of Stephen van Leeuwen, Research Scientist with the Department of Environment and Conservation, in recognition of the major contribution that he has made to our understanding of the Pilbara flora. Stephen has worked in the Pilbara for 25 years and apart from his extensive documentation and collections of plants of the region during this period he has facilitated the work of many other people through his guidance (technical, scientific and in the field) and advice. Stephen is in charge of the botanical component of the comprehensive Pilbara Biological Survey that is currently in progress."
