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."

Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl. as the name Calandrinia pusilla Lindl., nom. illeg., had been replaced in 1879 by Claytonia pusilla F.Muell. The epithet pusillum was available in Rumicastrum in 2020 and thus ought to have been adopted by Hershkovitz (ICN Art. 11.4 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
Comment: Hershkovitz refers to an unpublished manuscript by Carolin and ascribes authorship of all new combinations in Rumicastrum from that manuscript to Carolin alone. The existence of Carolin's unpublished work is not regarded as constituting a contribution by Carolin to the present publication under ICN Art. 46.5 (Shenzhen Code, 2018), so authorship is here given as Carolin ex Hershk.
