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."

Etymology: "The specific epithet honours Robert (Rob) and Ann Smart of Girraween farm near Jerramungup, Western Australia, and is intended as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin sapiens, wise, knowing. Rob and Ann have assisted this research considerably, both through sharing their knowledge of the genus within the Jerramungup region and through their generous hospitality."
