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: A name of uncertain application, listed in synonymy of Rumohra adiantiformis (G.Forst.) Ching by M.D.Tindale, Fl. New South Wales 208: 2-7 (1961). The related name Aspidium capense (L.f.) Sw. has been misapplied to Lastreopsis calantha (Endl.) Tindale and Polystichum whiteleggei Watts on NI and LHI respectively, however, Tindale’s concept of Rumohra adiantiformis is restricted to Australian mainland populations only.
