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."

Type: Doongan Station, Western Australia, 6 June 2012, R.L. Barrett RLB 7700 (bisexual plant) (holo: PERTH 08386048; iso: AD, BRI, CANB, DNA, K, MEL).

Etymology: "The epithet honours Zoe Emily Davies who was one of the coordinators of the field trip on which this species was first found. This species was discovered the same day and in the same place that I first met Zoe, who is now my wife. It was a chance meeting as we had both been asked to attend the field trip at short notice. When I first saw Zoe she was lying underneath a rock at the sandstone outcrop admiring some of the Indigenous rock paintings. The Solanum was discovered only 20 m from the spot where I met Zoe. I felt it was highly appropriate that this species be named in her honour following that wonderful chance meeting in the remote Kimberley."
