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."

Etymology: "The epithet honours the work of the late Robert (Bob) William Johnson (1930–2012), former director at BRI, for his extensive work on the Convolvulaceae of Australia. I am grateful to have had discussions with Bob on the taxonomy of Convolvulaceae from the Kimberley region and he kindly made a number of his draft keys available to me in advance of publication."
