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."

[tax. nov.]

Type: "Brand Highway near Marchagee Rd turn-off, Coomallo, Western Australia, 30 13'47" S, 115 25' 35.1", 11 Sep. 2007, A. Lowrie 3553 & J.G. Conran (holo: PERTH; iso: MEL, Herb. Lowrieanum)."

Etymology: "The epithet, murfetii is named in honour of AL's good friend and colleague Denzel E. Murfet, Port Elliot, South Australia, who has done much to increase our knowledge of the Australian flora with his Australia-wide botanical collections for the Adelaide Herbarium, South Australia. It is with pleasure that we name this plant that he discovered and brought to our attention after him. AL is also honoured to have undertaken numerous expeditions with Denzel to some of the wildest and botanically unexplored parts of Australia in pursuit of plants."
