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: "New South Wales. Central Coast, Watagan State Forest, 33 02'44"S, 151 19'31"E, sheltered road verge in disturbed rainforest edge of eucalypt plantation, locally common, 21 Jan. 2001, W. Cherry 344 & R.L. Cherry (holotype: NSW 448939, NSW 455658, NSW 455659; ..."

Etymology: "The epithet is in reference to the common number of primary divisions of a leaf, divisions which extend to or about the midrib. It is also appropriate as the terminal lobe is cut into three - although usually no more than to about two-thirds the breadth of the lobe - and in turn is often apically 3-toothed, i.e. there are 3 levels of subdivision."
