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: identifier: IF 559428
Etymology: "Named after Wu Chien-Shiung (1912−1997; as a noun apposition), a Chinese-American particle and experimental physicist. Wu Chien-Shiung is best known for conducting an experiment (dubbed the Wu experiment) in 1956, which proved that conservation of parity was violated by the weak nuclear force. The significance of this experiment was that it provided a way to operationally define left and right without reference to the human body. Wu Chien-Shiung was awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978."
