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: "Playford Hwy c. 5 km east of Harriet Rd, Kangaroo Island, South Australia, 8 December 1984, G. Jackson 1729 (holo: AD 98508271)."

Etymology: "The epithet halmaturorum is derived from the Greek word halma ‘to leap’ and the suffix –orum ‘of’ and is used here with reference to the kangaroo after which Kangaroo Island was named. The name was applied by Ferdinand Mueller as a species epithet in e.g. Melaleuca halmaturorum and Eriostemon halmaturorum, both of which were first collected on Kangaroo Island."
