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: "Australia: New South Wales: North Coast: near Ashby (precise locality withheld due to conservation concerns), B.J. Conn 5911 & H.M. Conn, 3 Oct 2014 (holotype: NSW870879; isotypes: BRI, CANB, K, MEL)."

Etymology: "The specific epithet is based on the well-established Latinized form of ‘Elizabeth’, namely ‘Elisabeth’. This species is named after our very close friend and colleague, the late Elizabeth Anne Brown (1956–2013, Fig. 3) in recognition of her contribution to systematic botany and specifically for accompanying Barry Conn while searching for species of Prostanthera in northern New South Wales."
