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."

Text: "The description of this species is very brief but judging from the illustration in the protologue it could be a form of Acacia acinacea. According to G.Lawrence et al. (Botanico-Periodicum-Huntianum, 1968) the above title ended in 1877, but this is the title that appears on the volume in which A. ovata was described. It is possible that the journal may be J. Hort. Pract. Gard. because Lawrence et al. (op. cit. [i.e. Botanico-Periodicum-Huntianum, 1968]) lists 3 series and includes 1890 under this title. The author's name is unknown, except for the first initial of the surname."
