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."

APC Comment: Smith (1971: 41) argues that Australian and New Zealand material should be treated as a distinct species, Polytrichadelphus innovans, limiting the APC Dist. of P. magellanicus to Juan Fernandez, southern Chile, the Fuegian region, the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha. Hyvönen (2006: 137) prefers to treat all specimens from both sides of the Pacific as belonging to P. magellanicus. Qld and NSW reports not confirmed by Hyvönen (2006: 137).
