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: The taxonomic status of this species is unclear. Silva et al. 1996:108 placed the name in synonymy with Galaxaura marginata on the authority of Huisman & Borowitzka 1990 Phycologia :158 but Huisman 2006 Nemaliales p. 17 indicates that it is only the Australian specimens that are referrable to Dichotomaria marginata. He is not making a judgement on the Caribbean G. angustifrons.
