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: Silva et al 1996 Univ Calif Public Bot. 79:358 indicates that Dawson believes C. irregularis = C. indica Boergesen. Silva et al. do not support this. Price et al 1979 Aust J Plant Physiol 3:7 lists C. indica for Lizard Island but Price& Scott p. 60 follow Dawson.
