Australian Plant Name Index (APNI)
The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, please use the Australian Plant Census (APC) link above.
Lectotype:"Type:—AUSTRALIA. New South Wales: Sydney (Port Jackson), North Brush, 12 Oct 1803, R. Brown 2877 (lectotype, BM [BM001040547], first step designated by Forster (1992a: 48) [i.e. P.I.Forster, Aust. Syst. Bot. 5(1): 48 (1992)], second step designated here; isolectotypes, BM [BM001040548]; CANB [CANB278896])."
Text:"Forster (1992a: 48) [i.e. P.I.Forster, Aust. Syst. Bot. 5(1): 48 (1992)] selected the material in BM as the lectotype for Tylophora barbata Brown. However, the material in BM consists of two specimens, that are not unambiguously identifiable as parts of the same gathering according to ICN, Art. 8.3. Therefore, a second step lectotypification, selecting the richer of the two specimens, [BM001040547], is carried out here."
