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."

[n/a]

Etymology: "The species name is derived from the Greek doretos (generous, freely given). This species is dedicated to the team of volunteers at the Western Australian Herbarium who so generously and graciously give of their time and skills to assist the institution in a range of tasks, particularly specimen mounting and identification, and image manipulation. While not intending in any way to detract from any individual’s effort, recognition is given to volunteers Gilbert Marsh and Daphne Edinger, who provided additional, invaluable field assistance to the author during the Understanding Mulga project (Maslin & Reid 2012)."
