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.

APC Comment:
Species epithet has been widely misspelled as "moschata". The ICBN rules (Art. 62.2) that the generic name takes the gender of the last part of the compound, in this case -sperma (seed), which is neuter.
