name

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."

Comment: Mueller lists "Cyperus tegetiformis = C. Malaccensis ...". Since Cyperus tegetiformis Roxb. ex Arn. was previously accepted by Mueller on p. 125 of the Systematic Census (1882) but Cyperus malaccensis Lam. is the only species treated in Mueller's Second Systematic Census p. 211 (1889). Therefore C. malaccensis is here treated as being the accepted name in this Supplement with C. tegetiformis in synonymy.
