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."

Type: "During Captain Speke and Grant's adventurous journey to the lake-feeders of the Nile, the latter of the distinguished explorers made an excellent collection of dried plants, ... amongst them was a fragment of a succulent Euphorbiaceous plant, which, having retained its vitality, was taken by Dr. Thomson to the propagating pits, and being planted, has now developed into a striking green Euphorbiaceous bush, seven feet high,–the subject of this Plate."
