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."

Paclt, J. (May 1998), (1351) Proposal to amend the gender of Euonymus, nom. cons. (Celastraceae), to feminine.

Taxon

473-474

[secondary reference]

Text: "Both feminine and masculine gender are used for Euonymus up to the present time. This dual usage is certainly unwanted, and a ruling desirable. Accepting the present proposal will support the widespread, classically correct usage of feminine. Rejecting it will support the original masculine usage of Linnaeus, but may result in continued use of feminine by a good number of modern authors."
