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: "This species is named for Suzanne Curry and is a long-overdue acknowledgement for her exemplary work as my Research Assistant between 1980 and 1988. During this period Suzanne provided invaluable and competent support in the laboratory, the field and on a number of interstate herbarium visits. Her organisational skills and attention to detail were especially appreciated during the preparation of the Acacia treatment for the Flora of Australia volumes (Orchard & Wilson 2001, 2001a). A by-product of this work was a book detailing the Australian collecting localities of Allan Cunningham (Curry et al. 2002). It is additionally fitting that this species be named for Suzanne because she was present when B.R. Maslin 5217, the voucher for the phrase name Acacia sp. Minnie Creek, was collected, and because she coordinated the compilation of the draft management plan for Kennedy Range National Park, which is located to the immediate west of where the species grows (DEC/CCWA 2008)."
