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."

312, Fig. 11 APC

[tax. nov.]

Type: "Queensland. DARLING DOWNS DISTRICT: Stretchworth State Forest (SF155), c. 40 km SW of Dalby, 6 August 2000, D.M. Bennie 154 (holo: BRI, two sheets).'

Etymology: "The species is named in honour of Ms Grace Lithgow, a keen naturalist (https://www.qnc.org.au/QNHA/qnha2007_ GraceLithgow.htm), whose booklet (Lithgow 1997) on the wattles of the Murilla and Chinchilla shires is a fine account of the region’s rich Acacia flora. The type locality is a little south of the shires covered by Ms Lithgow’s booklet."
