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 epithet is Latin for button-like. Like several other annual composites, this is a prostrate plant in which the stems and leaves lie on or just below the soil surface (and are the same colour as the soil), while the inflorescences are held on shortly ascending terminal branches near the soil surface and appear from above as a collection of buttons."
