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."

legitimate

Comment: This name is included in what is ostensibly a reprinting of a paper published anonymously in the Hobart Town Almanack (1835). However, in the earlier paper the name given is Leucopogon lanceolatus (as "lanceolatum"), itself an illegitimate and superfluous name due to the inclusion of Styphelia gnidium Vent. in synonymy. This is here considered to constitute an indirect reference to the basionym under ICN Art. 41.3 (Shenzhen Code, 2018) and authorship of the new combination is attributed to Hooker, as editor of the current work.
