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."

Comment: DNA evidence appears to support this name as being synonymous with U ridgida (see Kraft et al 2010 J. Phycol. 46:1272). The photo of the type of U. laetevirens is in Phillips (1988: fig. 21b). There is some dispute regarding the type of U. laetevirens. In his account Womersley (1984) Mar. Benthic Flora I :142 states there is a lectotype in S, whereas Phillips (1988) incorrectly uses the term holotype. Womersley (1984) synonymises U. laetevirens with U. australis which would mean U. laetevirens would be a further heterotypic synonym of U. rigida.
