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.

Comment: Linnaeus used the specific epithet occidentale for a species of Blechnum collected in China and orientale for a species from the Americas. He later corrected this in Sp. Pl. 2nd edn, 1534-1535 (1763). The transposition is here treated as a correctable typographical error under ICN Art. 60.1 (Melbourne Code, 2012).
