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: That the Herbarium abbreviation AST is not the same as the Academia Sinica Institute of Oceanology at Quindao (QD). Unfortunately QD uses the acronym AST as a numbering system for their algae, and some researchers have mistakenly cited AST as the acronym for where types are deposited when the correct acronym should have been QD.
