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: Womersley originally kept this taxon separate from S. radiciformis but in Womersley (1987) The Marine Benthic Flora of Southern Australia Pt II:284, he made them synonyms. Millar (1998) Norfolk Island Algae Aust Syst Bot 11 continues to separate the two taxa. This latter situation has been followed only in order to communicate the differences in views in the phycological community..
