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."

Although Eutaxia myrtifolia was nomenclaturally superfluous when published, due to Brown's inclusion of Dillwynia obovata in synonymy, it is not illegitimate under Art. 52.3 of the ICBN (Vienna Code (2006)). The epithet obovata was available in Eutaxia in 1810 and thus ought to have been adopted by Brown at that time. However, the name has been preoccupied since 1853 by Eutaxia obovata Turcz. Eutaxia myrtifolia (Sm.) R.Br. is thus the earliest available name in Eutaxia. See C.F.Wilkins et al., Nuytsia 20: 112 (2010)) for a discussion.
