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: "Named in honour of Mr Geoff Cockerton, who first recognised the species as distinct and brought it to the attention of the senior author. Geoff has worked for many years as a seed collector and consultant botanist including with the company Western Botanical, which he founded. He has contributed significantly to the Western Australian Herbarium’s collection, and has brought to our attention many taxonomic novelties (and difficulties)."
