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."

APC Comment: Treated as Striga angustifolia by I.R.H.Telford, Fl. Australia 50: 379 (1993), with Striga asiatica in synonymy. However, other treatments (e.g. D.Hong et al., Fl. China 18: 88 (1998)) treat these taxa as distinct, and this circumscription is adopted here. The description of the single CoI specimen cited by Telford is a better match for S. asiatica.
