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 species epithet honours Keiran McNamara, Director General since 2001 of the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) and later the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). As Director General, Keiran strongly supported science, including taxonomic research on potential species of conservation concern resulted in the publication of 154 new plant taxa in Western Australia, 119 of which are conservation-listed. This is a remarkable legacy."
