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: "Queensland. PORT CURTIS DISTRICT: Thangool – Lookerbie Road, S of Thangool, 9 May 2009, A.R. Bean 28739 (holo: BRI; iso: CANB, MEL, MO, NSW, P, distribuendi)."

Etymology: "The epithet is from the Latin, and means ‘avoiding, averse to’. This name is given because cattle avoid eating this plant, which is likely to be toxic. At the time the type was collected, this plant was thriving and untouched when many other nearby plant species had been heavily grazed by cattle."
