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."

[n/a]

Etymology: "The specific epithet ‘gilesii’ was first proposed by Mr George Althofer (Althofer 1978 [i.e. G.W.Althofer Cradle of incense (1978)]) to acknowledge William (Bill) E. Giles who ‘experimented in growing Australian and exotic plants’ (Althofer 1978, p. 121). Giles discovered this new species in the 1940s (Althofer 1978), with the first known herbarium collection made by him on the 17th December 1950."
