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 honours the late Lyndley Alan Craven (1945–2014) for his extensive field and revisionary work. Lyn recognised that the Kimberley specimens assigned to G. kakadu Carolin were significantly different from the type of that species. In late 2013, Lyn encouraged the first author to investigate the differences and formally describe this species. We, hereby, name this species in his memory. The small size of this species and microscopic defining characters reflect Lyn’s attention to detail, both in the field and in the herbarium."
Text: "The vernacular name of ‘Craven’s goodenia’ is recommended."
