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."

Text: DNA sequence: from holotype: GenBank OR122289 (ITS).
Text: identifier: IF 900602
Etymology: "Named after Isobel Marion Dorothea Mackellar (1885−1968), an Australian poet and fiction writer. Dorothea Mackellar’s iconic poem My Country (1908) still speaks to the connection to country felt by all Australians, as epitomised by the verse, 'I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel sea, Her beauty and her terror — The wide brown land for me!'"
