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 granite hills and surrounds near Mt Caroline were collectively referred to as the ‘Moullean’ (alternate spelling ‘Mullean’) by the local Noongar people (Drummond 1847; Wilson 1981; Harben et al. 2008). The specific epithet recognises the restricted distribution of this species in this region, and is used here as a noun in apposition."
