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 specific epithet was given in honour of Mr. Andrew A. MITCHELL, who was then officer in charge of the Australian Department of Agriculture KARRATHA, Western Australia. He has for many years provided us with valuable Ptilotus material from his own collections, e.g. Ptilotus trichocephalus (BENL 1990), and has now kindly sent me specimens of the new taxon treated here."
