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 newly proposed epithet commemorates Robert Brown (1773–1858), an outstanding British botanist and pioneer of Australian plant taxonomy, who authored the replaced name. We prefer not to use the epithet ‘brownii’ because of the existing name C. brownianum Schult. (published as ‘browneanum’, a replacement name for C. lanceolatum R.Br. 1810, nom. illeg., non Willd. 1808), following ICN Art. 23, Rec. 23A.2 (McNeill et al. 2012), according to which the use of the genitive and the adjectival form of the same word to designate two different species of the same genus should be avoided."
Comment: nom. nov., non Chenopodium hastatum Phil. (1860).
