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."

171-172, Fig. 9d (map)

[tax. nov.]

Type: [locality abbreviated to protect taxon] W of Ravensthorpe W.A., 27.x.1997, Lepschi & Fuhrer 3743 (holo-, PERTH; iso-, CANB).

Etymology: "The species epithet, 'daena', is the name of a Zoroastrian goddess whose name means 'that which was revealed', a suitable name for a new species. Daena was associated with the first light of dawn, an image that resonates with the orange and red colours and radiate markings of the standard petal of of Pultenaea deana. Daena's mother, Armaiti, is associated with the earth, and is the goddess of fertility and the dead (who are buried beneath the earth), an appropriate association for this half-buried shrub. The species also honours Daena Murray, the first author's mother, with the collections Orthia 57 and Orthia 58 being made on her birthday."
